Flying $200 Million Boeing 747-SP Private Jet ALONE

I flew on a private Boeing 747-SP VIP Jet from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to Marana, AZ, USA. I was the only passenger traveling inside this $200 million flying palace private 747 jet.
Check out the luxurious interior of this ex head of state airplane in the video. Sit inside the cockpit and watch how the pilots fly the B747 classic. It was just an exhilarating and unbelievable experience flying on a B747-SP VIP plane in 2019.

I was on the first flight of the 747SP as a test engineer on July 4th, 1975 when I was in Boeing flight test (instrumentation). Our flight did not have quite the VIP treatment the king's aircraft had - in fact the interior didn't have walls or (real) seats. We had water barrels that were used to transfer the weight around the aircraft for control of the center of gravity, maybe ten or more instrumentation stations, six foot by 20 inch wide racks measuring everything the plane did during that first flight. I'm 79 now and was 32 during that flight and your video brought it all back, thanks Sam.

I was a Pan Am flight Attendant back in 1980 and always flew that same aircraft from JFK- TOKYO, JFK-RIO and SFO- HONG KONG . The upper deck galley in your video brought back many memories . It may interest you to know that Pan Am flight attendants gave input in the design of the original galleys . Nothing changed in the upper deck galley! 41 years later , the 747SP at Pan Am remains the most beautiful, luxurious aircraft flying the skies.
