She had her first flight on June 7, 1978 from Everett and was then delivered to the Israeli EL AL Airline. Normally configured for 470 seats, she could also function as a pure freighter as she was equipped with a bow cargo door! What makes she so special to this day, however, is a flight that took place during Operation Solomon between May 23rd and 25th 1991. During this Operation, over 14.000 Ethiopian Jews were flown out of Addis Ababa on over 30 Israeli Air Force and EL AL transport aircraft, including three 747s! On one of these flights, a total of 1,088 passengers were flown to Tel Aviv with this 747, a world record that remains unbroken to this day! What was also unusual was that this flight was flown without an autopilot, as the automatic trim did not work properly before departure from Addis Ababa and last but not least, a child was born during the flight, breaking the record twice in one flight! After 31 Years in Service for EL AL and also for Cargo Air Lines, she was scrapped in July of 2009.

FS2004/FSX PA-48 Enforcer. With new ideas of how to keep the P-51 Mustang alive in 1968 and in service, the long-standing workhorse Merlin V- 12 was replaced with a turboprop. This mod was not funded by the USAF, but by Cavalier. The new modification was called the Turbo Mustang III. Later, Cavalier sold the project to Piper. The Enforcer had little in common with the original P-51 and it was flight tested in April 1971. The USAF, under pressure from Congress, did order two prototype PA-48 from Piper. No other orders were placed and the project died. The two PA- 48 Enforcers do exist today at USAF Museums. GMAX model by A.F.Scrub. 6MB
