Boeing 747SP-21 (VQ-BMS) Final flight out of LAX before destruction
5I had the opportunity to record the "Las Vegas Sands" 747SP-21 leave LAX for the final time mid 2020. On August 27, 2020 a Las Vegas Sands Boeing 747SP-21 (VQ-BMS) was damaged beyond repair during Hurricane Laura while undergoing maintenance. The right-hand wing fractured and the wing of another aircraft, which cut through the forward fuselage. The aircraft was considered a "write off" after the accident, and unfortunately....soon after, scrapped.
Various behind the scenes action from within LAX. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
*I will get better recording equipment soon* Using my old iPhone 8s to record all images.
