Due to Pan Am’s inability to fly domestic routes, they needed an aircraft with ultimate range.
This ‘special performance’ aircraft extended range. Pan Am had this special 747 created to allow non-stop flights from New York to Tokyo.

A shortened 747 with the suffix ‘SP’ for Special Performance.

Pan Am had 11 SP’s.

The 747SP’s went out of service April 22, 1985 with the sale of the ‘Pacific Division’ to United.
