N7477S ferried to MZJ

Ferried from YHM to MZJ

N7477S was ferried from YHM to MZJ on 5:th of October for a C-Check and repaint.

VP-BAT was bought by CSDS Asset Management in 2018 and put up for sale.
She have been flying for the royal Qatari family since 1995 and has been based in BOH – Bournemouth, UK for much of that time.

After being parked at YHM – Hamilton Airport in Canada for almost 1 year (was ferried to YHM from YLW on 2018-10-03) the beautiful lady was prepared for a new flight.

In preparation for the ferry flight the aircraft have had all her systems checked. A successful MPA Run was made on 22:nd of September.

During the C-Check, the aircraft will also be upgraded with ADS-B & FANS.

Enjoy this 2 part video tour of her interior. She’s not the average 747SP.
This is luxury all over!

Interior tour

With all Qatari markings removed, She still have her cheatline and tail colours as seen here on ground at YHM.
According to FAA files, She was re-registered N7477S on 10:th of April 2019 but I don’t know exactly when the new registration was painted on the aircraft.

On Saturday 5:th of October 2019 the beautiful 747SP N7477S (ex VP-BAT c/n: 21648 ) once again started up all 4 engines.
