Iran Air, the flag carrier airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced the last passenger flight of the last remaining Boeing 747SP-86 in passenger services in the world. In the next three days, EP-IAC (name: Persian Gulf), the last remaining Boeing 747SP-86 in passenger services in the world will go forever from the world. The event would occur on Saturday, June 11, 2016. It was a sad news for the world of aviation since EP-IAC is the last Boeing 747 Classic in the world. A month before, Iran Air retired EP-IAI, the last Boeing 747-200B(M) in the world. Iran Air becomes the last operator of the Boeing 747-100B, Boeing 747-200B(M), and the Boeing 747SP-86 in the world. The last Boeing 747-100B and Boeing 747-100B(M) had been retired, but the Boeing 747SP-86 is still flying, and it will fly into the history forever.
