The shortened, long-range Boeing 747SP flew for the first time on 4 July 1975. Built for Pan Am's New York-Middle East routes, it entered service with Pan Am on 25 April 1976.
- The 747SP (Special Performance), a 747-100 derivative shortened by 47 feet, first flew on 4 July 1975[1][2]
- Pan Am asked for a smaller, longer-range 747 for New York-Middle East flights and placed the first order in September 1973 for 10 plus 15 options, later cut to 7 aircraft with 5 more leased[1][2]
- The FAA approved the type on 4 February 1976; Pan Am accepted its first SP, N533PA, on 5 March 1976 and began SP service between New York and Tokyo on 25 April 1976, avoiding the Anchorage fuel stop and cutting about 3.5 hours to a 13 h 30 min flight[1][2]
- Sales fell well short of the hoped-for 200: 45 were built, the last delivered in 1987[2]
- A Boeing demonstration tour with N533PA before delivery covered about 72,152 miles[1]
