Photo Comment

One of two 747s ordered by Braniff International in 1969 for new Pacific routes expected to be awarded to the airline by the US Civil Aeronautics Board. When that award only allowed flights to Hawaii, this aircraft was traded back to Boeing for 727s before delivery. First flight March 21, 1971, it was stored at Wichita, KS until Wardair bought it as their first wide body. It was delivered March 23, 1973 and in the fleet until the airline was bought by Canadian Airlines in 1989.
