I assume you mean 747-100?? Anyhow, the 747-123's went to quite a few places, one of the most notable examples going to NASA for the Space Shuttle transporter:
AFAIK, AA operated a total of 24x 741, 1x 742, and 2x 74SP
The 741's found their way to a variety of different operators...most of them cargo - UPS, Polar, Kalitta. However, a few 747-123's found their way to UA for pax service.

1. Pan Am swapped their DC-10s for AA's 747s.
6. 11 DC-10-30s.
10. Trans Caribbean, AirCal, Reno Air & TWA. (4)
That's all strictly from memory as per your rules.
That's enough from me, for now. Regards.

I don't remember ever hearing about that, although it's certainly possible. FYI, they flew DFW-TUL using DC-10's for a while, in the early 90's,. as I recall.
Quoting SolarWind (Thread starter): When AA flew to Hawaii in the mid 70s..they only flew form one city..Which one?

Quoting Contrails (Reply 7): Another question: Did AA ever have a two-engine 727 (engine failures don't count!)?
They were made with three engines (engine failures or not).

Quoting Contrails (Reply 5): Another question: Did AA ever have a two-engine 727 (engine failures don't count!)?
They have about 300 of them. They look oddly narrow and have weird flaps, though.
Quoting Transpac787 (Reply 2): It's hard to find much info on N601AA and N602AA, the two 74SP's AA operated, but it seems they found their way to government operators.
Former N601AA was leased to the government of Kazakhstan upon departure from AA, before being returned to the lessor. It eventually did stints for Air Atlanta and a couple no-name operators; by 2002, no lessee could be found and the lessor scrapped it.
Former N602AA did a stint as Dubai royal transport before being sold to Ernest Angley Ministries and confusingly renamed "Star Triple Seven." Apparently the faith healer still uses and maintains the plane.
Most gorgeous aircraft: Tu-204-300, 757-200, A330-200, 777-200LR, 787-8

Yes, AA flight-tested a two-engine 727 in the 70's (as I recall), before the MD-80 came out. I didn't see it, but I've seen pictures. Testing took place around Tulsa. There was shroud (maybe not the best word) over the #2 engine inlet. AA wanted Boeing to build a two-engine 727. A few years later McD came out with the Mad Dog, and the rest is history.

3. I think the last DC-10 flights were in 1999 or early 2000 at the latest. The last flights would have been DFW-HNL and ORD-HNL
11. The last 727 flight was 2002, and I think it was in April on MIA-RDU. AA pushed retirement up from 2004 because of 9/11. The last 707 flight was either 1981 or 1982. The had been scheduled to retire as the 767s were delivered, but the price of jet fuel went up, and the 707s were gas guzzlers.

Last DC-10 flight was in 2000. It was N143AA that did the honors. As a sidenote, the first DC-10
flight was in 1971, made by N103AA.
Also confirming that the last 727 flight was in 2002. The 727 was AA's longest serving aircraft type,
operating for 38 years.
I'm not sure about the 707 retirement date, but Ckfred (reply 11) is in the ballpark of 1981 or 1982.
Regards.

3.) 1st DC-10-10 flight was in 1971, LAX-ORD, I believe the last a DC-10-30, HNL-DFW in 2000. I'm going by memory so I might be slightly off.

Quoting SolarWind (Thread starter): ..9.At anytime did AA use 747 service from DFW to ELP ?..
No, but they used DC-10's on that route...
Here's another couple of trivia questions (Consider "B" to be Bonus):
B1) Name the airport that AA built.
B2) How many *Terminals* does AA own, and at what airports? (I've gotta admit, I only know of one, and it's a bit of a suprise...)

I'm was going to take a wild stab at this and say TUS. I think I read somewhere that they originally used Davis-Monthan and had to move out around 1948 where AA was the only tenant. However, I'm pretty sure the city build TUS so I'm going to say one the answer is one of my all-time favorite weird airports...Douglas-Bisbee.
