Trans World Airlines (TWA) operated three Boeing 747SP aircraft. N58201, flew with TWA for almost five years before being used by Dubai Air Wing and later acquired by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. TWA’s first 747SP was registered as N58201 and joined the airline’s fleet in March 1980. All in all, N58201 spent almost half a decade flying with TWA before leaving the carrier in February 1985. The aircraft was, however, soon back in action, registered as A6-SMR and operating VIP flights with Dubai Air Wing, where it remained until June 2007. Later that year, the Las Vegas Sands Corporation acquired the luxurious 50-seat aircraft. Today, the aircraft is now registered as VP-BLK.
