Was KLM the launch customer of the 747-200?

i think so... at least they wanted GE engines, but the first 4 or 5 had PW ones, they were changed to GE's afterwards when they were painted in the blue colorscheme.
and the first 747-200's had 3 windows on the top just as the 747-100 has, the later ones have 10 windows.
All KLM 747-200 (except for the crashed one)later became 747-200SUD's, which means the upper deck gets the same length as the one on the 747-300. the MTOW stays the same.
Eventually they all became a 747-200SF, a 747-200SUD with a cargo door in the nose.
Special colorschemes were:
KLM/VIASA, with on one side KLM body (White) with VIASA tail and on the other one VIASA body and KLM tail
And KLM means Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij. The oldes airline still operating under it's old name (Since 1919)
