Solar Eclipse Flight on a 747-438?
I notice that one eclipse flight to view the Nov 23/24 solar eclipse over Antarctica is listed is being on a 747-438. What is the 438 designation? Is that a special version of the 747 outfitted for scientific research? I know there are custom made aircraft for scientific research, I am wondering if the 438 is the designation for a 747 outfitted for scientific research. |
