    That plane shown here is actually still existing. She got transferred to Delta Air Lines after the two companies merged and after many years in service with Delta, she was retired from service.
    Delta preserved her in their flight museum and the exact same plane with the rudder problem is sitting in the parking lot of an Atlanta museum near the international airport.

      Funny story, I went on a field trip to the exact muesuem in Atlanta.(cause I live in Georgia) and there were several older aircraft I saw there.And I remember going into the 747 that was parked outside, extremely legendary to think that’s the exact same plane that had survived this accident long ago.

      @@daviddavis3389 People use pronouns like “she” for things they find somewhat attaching, like a navy calling a battleship “she” instead of “it” (because they dumped a lot of resources to make a battleship).
