One of the 'original' B747-100 series, it was delivered to Japan Air Lines in Oct-71 as JA8107 but only carried passengers on JAL's domestic network for 6 years. It was converted into a freighter in Sep-77 and transferred to JAL Cargo. It served with them for a further 15 years until it was sold to American International Airways in Aug-92 as N702CK. American International were renamed Kitty Hawk International Air Cargo in Feb-99 and became Kalitta Air in Dec-00. After an incredible 39 years in service it was finally retired and stored at Kalitta's main base at Oscoda (OSC) in early 2010. The registration was cancelled in Aug-10 and the aircraft was subsequently broken up.
