München-Riem
8 October 1971 (or possibly 2 November 1972)

HB-IGA "Genève"
Boeing 747-257B
20116/112
Swissair

Taken with a strong telelens from across the field. HB-IGA, Swissair’s first B747, also was one of the first B747s to appear at Riem. I have two reports, one from 8 October 1971 and one from 2 November 1972, and both times the aircraft had diverted from ZRH due to fog. Up to October 1971, only Lufthansa, Condor and KLM B747s had been seen at Riem.

Delivered to Swissair as HB-IGA in 1971 (first flight 15 January 1971). To Salenia as LX-SAL in 1984 then to TWA as N303TW in 1985. Leased to Nationair from 1990 to 1992.
