In a passing nod to the er... passing of the Boeing 747 from Singapore Airlines' fleet, here's a picture from Flightglobal's AirSpace gallery of Boeing's 1,000th 747. The Pratt & Whitney PW4000-powered aircraft was delivered to Singapore Airlines in 1993 as 9V-SMU and carried out sterling years of service for the carrier until 2010. It underwent freighter conversion in 2011 and is currently, at least according to our Ascend Online database, plying its trade for Southern Air as N400SA.
