American Airlines Boeing 747 N9667

American Airlines Boeing 747-123 N9667 (20106) at Los Angeles-International in October 1980.
This aircraft went on to several leases before ending up with United as N157UA in 1987. It was eventually broken up at Greenwood. Mississippi

     What can I say, I am a sucker for airplane movies
