Air Namibia was founded in 1946 and for many years operated several types of Boeings.  All Boeings are now history as the airline operated solely Airbus and Embraer aircraft.

 

Only 45 Boeing 747SPs were built and Just Planes feels very lucky that it was able to film the aircraft with 4 airlines : Corsair, IranAir, South African Airways and in this case Air Namibia. The airline leased the SP from South African in the early 90s for service to Europe. Our program was filmed in 1998, the year before the aircraft was replaced with a 747-400 which we also filmed in another program.

 

We're also very happy that we were able to film this aircraft on 6 sectors taking the European route to London Heathrow via Frankfurt and same on the way back as well as a bonus roundtrip to Johannesburg to give you plenty of time to enjoy the SP!

Comments

All of the Videos/DVDs featuring the 747SPs are great. I bought the videos of Air Namibia, South African, and Corsair years ago. When the Corsair came out on DVD, I bought that one because the Captain gave alot of imformation on the 747SP, including the difference between the 747SP and the 747-300. When the South African came out on DVD, I bought that one because the 747SP flight to Cape Town was very entertaining. I have the Iran DVD - The 747SP Captain does a great job with his tour of the cockpit, and my complements on the Cabin Crew & Cabin Scenes (including the meal service).
