The production run was 45 units being built between 1975 and 1987.

The SP is a lovely aircraft, shorter and taller (tail) than the mainstream 747. Originally called the 747SB (short body) before being given the prefix of SP ( Special Performance). Nice capture, wonder how many still fly?

Great pics, I really like the SP. I heard this one on my scanner yesterday.
