Here's a picture of an Evergreen International 747-100 that had a much happier ending  ;D http://jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7193981

I was actually at the Museum looking at the Spurce Goose the day after they flew her in. She was sitting in front of the museum at the time. It was flown in, crossed the street and parked until it could be made into a waterpark.

BTW, this aircraft in particular was one of Delta's original Boeing 747-132's they received in the 1970's. The, like American, got rid of the 747 because it was too big. Evergreen's other 747-100, their Supertanker (firefighting) was laos a Delta 747.
