Pan American World Airways Boeing 747-121 "Clipper Yong America" N733PA

This is the first 747 delivered from Boeing. It was delivered to Pan American World Airways on December 12th 1969, and was the name "Clipper Young America" and the registration N733PA. On December 31st 1969, the FAA issued the formal Approved Type Certificate for the 747. Later the 747 N733PA changed name several times: "Clipper Constitution", "Clipper Washington", "Clipper Pride of the Sea", "Clipper Air Express", "Clipper Pride of the Sea" again, "Clipper Moscow Express", and for the third time "Clipper Pride of the Sea". The aircraft served at Pan Am up until the bankruptcy in 1991.
  On May 6th 1992 the registration was changed to 5N-THG and operator was Trans Air Services. Only three months later (August 1992) it was withdrawn for use. It was stored at San Bernardino International Airport for almost one year and in December 1993 number 6 off the line was broken up.
