This was one of our A/C. I work for Atlas Air Inc. this was a cargo 747-200 classic tail # N808MC. It is sad to see it now, but it was at the end of it's economic life and its scrapping lengthened the lives of a few more of our classic fleet (which we are replacing with 747-400's and 747-8's). As we move on and replace the few classics we have left, this was a necessary measure. It served well, but it was its time to go. Actually I know a few crew members who have the cargo door, nose cone, ect. and I've been inside this A/C during one of its final checks. You might see a few more of our classics looking like this soon.

Maybe they were testing an ejectable cockpit? :P

A visitor from Mexico posted Mon April 24, 2006:
So sad to see this baby in this shape. Perhaps it will be for airport firemen trainin´ on a 747. If it gets repaired, what a luck. T.B.

Any chance this is just part of a (very) heavy maintenance check? Or is she done? If so, very sad.

A visitor from Germany posted Sun April 23, 2006:
After a over one year storage the crashed 747 will be scrapped soon ...
