747-SP at FACT

Anyone got any info/history on the aircraft currently parked near the airforce hangers? Saudi royalty again perhaps?

They're a numerous lot are the House of Saud and I dare say that some of them will be needing a bolt hole 'ere long. Shame really, none of this middle east upset would have happened if jolly old Sadaam were still around. I suppose it's remotely possible that Britain and the US are about to discover anew, the law of unintended consequences, as a consequence of their territorially invasive actions of the past .

Nice picture but not enough detail to figure out a registration or even the writing on the side.

Do you have a clearer shot ?

From the tail logo it looks like P4-FSH, operated by an American missionary outfit. Boeing 747SP Website - History for airframe# 21963

Hi,

I have seen this aircraft parked in various central African countries. An evangelist and his team of bean counters. He takes over the local stadium, whips the crowd into a frenzy and helps them part with his money.

I think that most religions have a reference to false prophets. No barn for him either, last I saw they were roughing it up in $400 a night accommodations.

Nice job if you can get it.
