HB-IGB ¦ ZRH 20.11.1977

            Boeing B.747-257B (c/n 20117/126)
Swissair
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
20 November 1977

HB-IGB was one of two 747-200Bs acquired by Swissair for their daily Zürich-New York and Zürich-Geneva-New York services. It was delivered new from the manufacturer in March 1971, and was named 'Zürich', after Switzerland's largest city.

HB-IGB was captured starting its take-off roll on runway 28, en-route to Geneva and John F. Kennedy, and wearing the Swissair livery of that time, including the unique anti-glare shields that would most probably be called a 'Bandit Mask' today.

The 747 was retired from Swissair service in 1984, was sold to Finland and flew with a whole variety of operators over the next 10 years, including Egyptair, TWA, Saudia and Air Atlanta Icelandic. In 1994 it was withdrawn from use and stored, and eventually broken up at Ardmore-Municipal during 1998.
