About This File
On 13.July 1969 had N93101 her first Test Flight! She was the fifth built Boeing 747 ever made and was one of the First to have vertical tape instruments for the engine monitoring in the Cockpit!
She was also the First to be delivered to TWA in August 1970 and the Airline celebrated that with painting a 5 on the Front of the Aircraft.
Five Years later, meanwhile converted to a freighter/tanker, she was took over by the Iranian Air Force, where she was in Service most of her active time.
With her last Registration as EP-CQB from 2016 is her current state unkown and the last "In Flight" Spotter Photo which i have found from her in the Net was from September 2019.
But nevertheless, with over 50 years in service she has been the oldest flying 747 of all!
Many thanks to Christian Koegler from the RFP team for the permission to publish this mod with their 747-200 model with VC,
Barnaby Britton for his permission to use his great "RA001, the first jumbo jet" Flight engineer panel photo as 2D & VC FE panel background,
Theodore Gianna for his really nice "TWA 'Star Stream' Double Globe" Paintwork and the permission to modify it,
Marco Ravanello & Gianfranco Corrias for the great CIVA INS,
Jacob Larsen and Anthony Eades for the very useful V speeds callout gauge,
Charles Owens for his innovative icing mod,
Philippe Wallaert for his "2D view panning" mod,
Mike Maarse for his "it will knock your socks off" Pratt & Whitney soundset,
Douglas S. Dawson for his great programs that allows us to save and reload Vars,to play Sounds files and of course for his Batterycharger
and to Dietmar Loleit, who passed away in 2020, for his great working TCAS!
Tested only in FSX & Acceleration!
