As long as 747SP's are taken care of, I don't care who does it.

A wonderful plane.

Yup, there was a 747 - SP that survived a out of control spiral dive out over the ocean coming into SFO back in 1985, and there was major damage, but, the plane still managed to land safely.
The 747-SP is built more robust that the average 747, and has some special performance features on it ( hence - SP ).
Does those 747-SP's have double flaps than the tripple flaps like the average 747 ?
The new 747-8I will have single flaps on the outboard part of the wing, and double flaps on the inboard, and the flaps ) maybe ) be made out of composites.
The ailerons will be made out of composites, and Boeing is thinking of having ( Fly by Wire ) for the ailerons.
