Bahrain Royal Flight B747SP
A Bahrain Royal Flight Boeing 747SP.
A Bahrain Royal Flight 747SP, banking away with the shortened fuselage clearly visible against a standard 747 wing and tail.
The SP was built for range rather than capacity — Pan Am and Iran Air wanted an aircraft that could fly further than any 747 then available. Only 45 were built, but their long legs and small cabins made them popular with governments long after the airlines let them go. More on the 747SP.
