Boeing 747SP

An underrated member of the 747 family, it was designed to compete with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, introduced in 1971/1972. Pan Am wanted a 747-100 derivative to fly nonstop between New York and the Middle East, a request also shared by Iran Air, and the first order came from Pan Am in 1973. Boeing shortened a 747-100 by 14 metres by eliminating fuselage sections fire and aft. Out of all 45 airframes built, one was acquired by NASA and turned into a flying space telescope/observatory and two others were acquired by Pratt and Whitney to function as engine testbeds.

The Boeing 747SP is an intriguing member of the 747 family.

boginner

A novice hiker who isn't accustomed to navigating marshy terrain.

New recruits at Camp Swampy are likely total boginners, so Sarge might have considerable difficulty integrating them into his regiment if they had to train anywhere off of paved surfaces.

Boeinged

To be killed by someone after telling on them after they did something wrong, much like how Boeing kills its whistleblowers after they pointed out dangerous flaws in the 737 max and 787.

Jane got Boeinged by Chris after she told his girlfriend he had cheated on her with Jane’s best friend.
