Extremely Poor Volumes On The Nagano Route (Only 1 Pax Once) & The Lack Of Rights To Sydney Relegated The 747s To The Bird Of Paradise (Hawaii) & New York Routes, But Proved To Be Unprofitable.
I Actually Saw 2 Pics Of N535AW But Are No Longer Online. Never Saw Pics Of N536 AW But Yes, It Was In The Fleet.
As far as I know and have read and heard about there were only 4 747s in the fleet. I used to work for this garbage airline so I talked to alot of the people who were around when 747s where in service. Also they flew to Nagoya not Nagano.
