She had her first flight on June 7, 1978 from Everett and was then delivered to the Israeli EL AL Airline.
Normally configured for 470 seats, she could also function as a pure freighter as she was equipped with a bow cargo door!
What makes she so special to this day, however, is a flight that took place during Operation Solomon between May 23rd and 25th 1991.
During this Operation, over 14.000 Ethiopian Jews were flown out of Addis Ababa on over 30 Israeli Air Force and EL AL transport aircraft, including three 747s!
On one of these flights, a total of 1,088 passengers were flown to Tel Aviv with this 747, a world record that remains unbroken to this day!
What was also unusual was that this flight was flown without an autopilot, as the automatic trim did not work properly before departure from Addis Ababa
and last but not least, a child was born during the flight, breaking the record twice in one flight!
After 31 Years in Service for EL AL and also for Cargo Air Lines, she was scrapped in July of 2009.
