N140UA / 8540 (cn 21022/265) This is the oldest SP Jumbo Jet, first flight July 4, 1975 as N747SP. Delivered to Pan Am as N530PA in April 1976 and bought by United Airlines in 1986. Wfu and scrapped during the mid 1990s. Seen here taxiing to RW 36L for departure. Note, that back in those days the taxiways at Beijing were also used as bicycle tracks. No doubt who had the right of way. |
