Yes there was a very short bodied 747. Forget the details but I believe it was intended for long distance service..

If you click on the ‘Twitter’-photos you can read the comments about those photos. They are very-interesting, and mention that these are ‘photoshopped’-images. 🙂

Easy to see. It’s on the Strip side of the airport. I believe one of the the casinos owns it.

Those TWA and Pan Am photos are old photoshop jobs that have been floating around the internet, not historic renderings or otherwise. Maybe label them as such.
