What ever happened to the very first commercial 747, Pan Am’s Juan T. Trippe? (Note the phrasing; the actual first 747 was only used for test flights, and is now in the Museum of Flight.)
The LAT has the answer; it became a (now closed) restaurant in South Korea. The couple who bought the plane paid $1 million for it, and “$100,000 plus” to have it dismantled and shipped; the LAT does not give a cost figure for the reassembly.
The LAT also does not tell us what kind of food the restaurant served; rumors that it was Seoul food are unconfirmed.
Nice to know that people in other countries make the same mistakes opening restaurants as people in the U.S.
