High-quality metal model of the government special Turkey Government Boeing 747-8 BBJ. It is a detailed and precisely processed model based on a real aircraft. The model package includes a removable stand and landing gear.
Qatar Amiri Flight, whose fleet is exclusively reserved for the Qatari royal family and other senior government officials, initially wanted to sell one of its Boeing 747s with a VIP interior because it was rarely used. A little over 400 flight hours were recorded in the logbooks of the former VQ-BSK. But the Emir of Qatar quickly turned the plane into a gift to the Republic of Turkey, with meeting rooms, lounges, first-class seats and even a hospital ward. Now registered TC-TRK, the 747-8 carries the distinctive and elegant design of the Turkish government fleet.
