Departing after sunset for an 8.5h flight between Berlin and the Azores, up to FL430. The rear fuselage of this former PanAm and United SP was heavily modified for the in-flight opening doors, large enough to let the more than 2.5m diameter telescope do its work.

Putting it very much simplified, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, consists of a German telescope in a NASA aircraft. The 747SP as a platform allows for 10 hour missions typically at 41,000ft or more, above almost all water vapour that would block parts of infrared light.

This airframe was the prototype 747SP, registered N747SP, and later PanAm's N530PA before flying for United, its final operator.

The accompanying text reads: "Delivery of the first 747SP for Pan Am On the first flight from Seattle (KSEA) to New York, the aircraft already transported cargo. In this photo you can see 2 other 747SP's being prepared for delivery; the second aircraft for Pan Am (N532PA), the first 747SP for Iran Air (EP-IAA) and the first 747SP for South African (ZS-SPD). At that time, 17 747SP's were ordered." Amusingly the text calls this aircraft the '747SP Junior Jumbo'. Delivered to United in February 1986 as N143UA. Withdrawn from use in August 1995, scrapped at Ardmore (KADM) late 1997/early 1998.

The first flight of this aircraft was on July 4, 1975 as the -SP demonstrator for Boeing. Delivered to Pan Am on April 26, 1976 as N530PA (Clipper Mayflower). Delivered to United in February 1986 as N140UA. Seen stored at Las Vegas in November 1995 in basic UAL colors (without titles/logo), the registration was cancelled that same month. Ferried to Ardmore (KAMD) to be used for spares at Ardmore, the aircraft was later scrapped. Photo from Boeing
