Caption
On January 15, 2004 an Iran Air Boeing 747SP-86 EP-IAC with 180 passengers and crew onboard suffered hydraulic problems after departure from Beijing Capital International Airport, China. The aircraft returned to the airport, but the nose gear collapsed upon landing. The aircraft was ferried back to Tehran where it was withdrawn from service.Now after 6 years and complex overhaul this giant beauty flies again.Note to her nose… We have another “Persian Gulf” jumbo after EP-IAA!

Wonderful! An SP back in service is really good news! This one was parked on jacks at PEK when I was there in 2004 :)

Saw this aircraft twice in early March at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It looks good. The crew looked professional too.

A very nice and informative photo and comment. But man, the 747SP is one ugly plane! Completely disproportionate.
