StarJets 1:500 American Airlines Boeing 747-100 SJAAL181

The Boeing 747-100 was the first production model of the iconic "Jumbo Jet" and was operated by American Airlines in the 1970s and 1980s. American Airlines had a fleet of 9 of these aircraft, which were used on long-haul routes. The 747-100 was known for its distinctive upper deck "hump" and was a major innovation in air travel, allowing for more passengers and cargo to be transported long distances. While American Airlines eventually phased out the 747-100 from its fleet, it played a significant role in the airline's history and in the broader evolution of air travel.
