Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 12:21 pmLooks like a 747SP with something wrong in the texturing of the top deck (windows too far backward)
The passengers in the last part don't have any headroom.

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 2:27 pmi am gonna have to agree with the SP varient, with no head room:) we had a 747sp in an all silver livery at filton sunday last week, i think it was world airlines or airways something like that, its funny but it is really not that big up close, i thought the same of KLM's 747s when in amsterdam, i dont know why but i expected them to be bigger i guess:)

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 3:46 pmyep it's an SP but it looks strange ::)
btw, KLM doesn't have SP variants in use, they only have the -200SUD, -300, -400 and -400F ;)
about KLM, at Boeing you can see the first shot of the KLM 777-200...but it hasn't the KLM colours yet...it will arrive at EHAM in october! ;)

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 7:34 pmSP=Special Performance I believe....it has a shortened fuselage, which in reality give a lower all-up weight for the same wingspan and area, ... secondary point of recognition is the taller fin, necessitated by the shorter tail moment.....better efficiency for long range cruising.....initially used for trans-Pacific flights, I think ?
