The plane was an unfortunate casualty of the flu.
As the coronaviruses wreaks havoc on the airline industry, more and more planes are disappearing from the skies.
When the travel downturn started in 2020, airlines retired high-cost quad-jets and sent them to the boneyard.
Despite the increase in air travel, one of the largest aircraft storage facilities in the US is not emptying out.
The Queen of the Skies is still flown by a few passenger airlines.

These retired Boeing jumbo jets have been turned into flightless tourist attractions.
There are several different room options at the hotel and hostel.
Here's what it was like when I stayed at the Jumbo Stay 747 in Sweden.
I arrived at the airport after flying in from London. It's very easy to get to the hotel by foot or by bus from the airport.
I flew on Europe's notorious low-cost airline from London to Sweden and it was easy to navigate.
The walk would take 23 minutes if you wanted to get your steps in.
The free bus is the better choice.
Travelers can take the bus by going to Terminal 4 and finding bus stop number three. Every few minutes, it arrives.
Get off at the second stop once you're onboard.
The bus stop is called Jumbo Stay.
I left the bus and went to the hotel. I was very excited about the reveal of the full jumbo jet.
Being an aviation enthusiast since the day I was born, I wanted to stay at this hotel and learn more about the jet.
The plane's history goes back to 1976, when it was made for Singapore Airlines. Pan Am was one of the airlines that operated it before it moved to Arlanda in 2009.
The little details of the hotel made me smile. Jumbo Stay branding has been applied to the tail.
There are picnic tables for socializing.
There was a lot of space to park.
Guests need to climb a set of stairs to get into the jet. The elevator wasn't working.
What time breakfast starts and which bus to take to the airport were painted on the stairs.
Guests can either enter the jet or walk through a gate to get to the wing.
There are tables and chairs in the wing. It is a great place to spot planes at the airport.
I liked the way this detail was used.
I went into the plane after looking at the deck. Travelers will see the check-in area inside.
There's a case.
Guests can use a bathroom and shower in the building. The communal bathroom in the jet looked the same as the other ones.
The cafe is located at the nose of the plane. Breakfast is served here.
Guests can buy snacks and drinks at these places.
The galley cart was very airplane themed.
The business class seats are empty.
There are original boarding doors.
There's a hallway to the right of the lobby.
There was art on the walls.
Most of the 33 rooms that are spread throughout the jet include hostel-style dorms, standard rooms, and suites.
Travelers will share a bathroom in the hallway with another person if they bunk with another person in the gender-specific dorm.
The standard rooms can be used for single, double, or tripleOccupancy Depending on how many people are in the party, the price can vary.
The single, double, and triple rooms have a shared bathroom and shower, as well as twin or bunk beds, and are located inside the jet. This was a nice touch.
There are two rooms in the wheelhouse that don't have a shower.
Travelers need to exit the plane, walk down the stairs, and then ride the wheels to get to the rooms. Back up the stairs and into the shower.
There are four engine rooms as well as single rooms with toilets.
You can't stand upright inside because they're small and there's no toilet.
Staying in the engine would be a unique experience, despite the fact that you have to go back and forth to use the bathroom.
There are single rooms in the back of the plane that have their own bathroom and shower.
The black box suite is at the far end of the plane.
There is a cockpit suite on the second floor.
Guests need to climb a set of stairs. The room is quite large.
There is a double bed in front of the cockpit, which has its original flight controls and buttons.
There's a big bathroom.
The rooms in the jet have flat-screen TVs.
The conference room can be rented out. The original seats were on the plane.
This space can be rented alongside the cockpit suite for an extra fee and set up with two twin beds for families with children.
The cockpit suite has been booked almost every night since January and the hotel manager told me that he has priced the rooms so there is an option for everyone.
The rooms range from $65 to $127 per night, the suites range from $136 to $176 per night, and the dorms range from $42 to $51 per night.
The Jumbo Stay is a source.
I went to the wheelhouse after looking at the inside. I made sure I got one of the unique room options and was lucky to see the wheel well was still open.
The original wiring of the wheel well system was visible as I walked up to the room. The only window to my room would be that one.
Junejo has kept as much of the original plane as he can to preserve its history.
The room was larger than I anticipated.
A bathroom and sink.
A mirror.
A television.
I had a chair in the room that I could use to change my suitcase.
Hooks for towels or coats were on the wall.
Behind the bathroom, the bed was snug.
I didn't feel like I was trapped.
There was a lamp near the bed.
There's a shelf.
Power outlets as well. I brought my charging cable because the sockets were at the foot of the bed.
It was surprising that the mattress was thick and comfortable.
Before my flight back to New York, I had breakfast in the cafe and it was simple with toast and cereals.
I really liked my hostel experience. The experience of sleeping in a 46-year-old jumbo jet was a dream and the room was unique and comfortable.
Junejo said he loves hearing the stories of people who come to stay at his place.
People who live down the road from Boeing and pilots who flew on the exact jumbo are some of the people he has met.
If you're going to Sweden, I would highly recommend booking a stay at the Jumbo Stay 747 and seeing a piece of history.
Junejo said that the jet has memories. The symbolism of this plane is that it used to fly people around the world and now people from around the world are coming to the plane.
