SPs were the best looking 747s IMHO... We were quite lucky at LHR as we got quite a lot of themAmerican had SP's aswell, although they were leased from TWA. They used them out of DFW to Gatwick and NRT. The only passenger SP I know of fly's with Iran Air. The rest are either private, with Gov't, or used are research platforms. United also had SPs.
* American Airlines
* Iran Air
* Iraqi (occasionally)
* Pan Am
* Saudia (occasionally, more usually an L10)
* Syrian Arab Airlines (now Syrianair, just in the last few weeks retired their last SP, I photo'd one last year)
* South African Airways
* TWA
* United
I also remember Braniff, Alliance ans several others at LGW, Aerolineas Argentinas in Paris, and Namib Air/Air Namibia at FRA. The RAM machine was very rare, but the A4O-, A9C- and A7- VIP machines have also been very regular at LHR. The Corsair SP used to visit MAN fairly regularly, and outside of the UK I caught both of the Korean SPs in ANC, the China Arrlines and Qantas SPs at LAX a few years back
Strangely, my SP pics always got quite a lot of hits on a.net...
