SunJET 747SP

Just finished my 747SP template. Thought I’d give it a test.

Introducing SunJET. Scotlands ticket to the sun.
Offering direct flights from GLA and PIK to Cuba, Bahamas, Caymen Islands and Hawaii. Fitted with 270 seats with 33″ pitch and PTVs throughout offering 300 hours of video on demand and 40 games.
The upper deck features Alba class, with 60″ pitch premium seats with dedicated meal and drinks on demand service making the flight to and from holiday just that little bit extra special.

Oh well, one can dream :rolleyes:

You know what? Even if I still prefer UA’s old livery , I kinda like the new one better and better.

Cheers for that Sandy.

The new one is beautiful, and I was a big fan of the old one.

That’s stunning Sandy!

The -SPs fuselage is about 45 feet shorter than the -100 but the tail is actually slightly taller (I think) too assist with fuel efficiency and extra range(hence Special Performance), so it appears to look even strager.

The tail is taller, the reason being to assist in stability given the shorter fuselage, and not necessarily to assist in fuel efficiency/range.

The vertical tail is taller. To allow for more command due to the shorter fuselage.

Oops, I just realized that’s the hybrid Pan Am scheme, not the 4 star. Sorry about that! Excellent job on that one! 😮

He He, thought that would catch you out :p

New colours 🙂

They do look slightly out of proportion, is that what you mean?

You da man! Very above average, thank you. Great job on those Pratts!

UA actually acquired their SP’s from Pan Am when they purchased their Pacific routes in the 80’s. Only 1 ever wore the Blue/grey scheme, but they never actually wore the 4 star scheme as Sandy illustrates. It still looks nice in that livery, though.
