Here is the forward upper fuselage of a former British Airways 747-136 (G-AWNG) that is a popular exhibit at the Hiller Aviation Museum. This aircraft entered service in 1971 and retired 27 years later, only to be saved from recycling and brought to the museum where United Airlines has a big part in restoring the interior. This exhibit wears a Flying Tigers Line (FTL) livery as a tribute to former FTL Captain Al Silver, who purchased this B747-100 nose section and donated it to the Museum.
