Iran Air retires the world's last active B747-100 from revenue service
Iran Air has retired its last remaining B747-100, EP-IAM (msn 21759), from active duty. Sources in the Iranian capital said the 35-year old aircraft was recently ferried from Tehran Mehrabad to Tehran Imam Khomeini for long term storage. Delivered direct from Boeing in the wake of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, EP-IAM was also the world's last B747-100 to remain in revenue service. Owing to international sanctions, Iran Air continues to operate various rare Boeing models including the B747-200(M) and the B747SP. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.
