I read that N747A's engines have been removed for use with N747NA, though the most recent Google shots of Mojave (2017) show it looking intact. I imagine investment in the SOFIA kit will mean NASA will want to keep N747NA flying as long as possible.

I see also that it began life with Braniff - trying to recall if I ever saw one in their colours. Did they ever visit Gatwick?
