Any insight to this? :unamused:

Quick look at FAA registration site reports that ā€œNā€ number belongs to a 1956 Beech G35ā€¦The Plot thickens.

3

And a filed airspeed of 99 knotsā€¦slow even for a bonanza. If it IS a 747 he must be taking I80 to I5.

I wonder if itā€™s a model 747-228B that was misidentified, of which there is only one in the FAA registry: N728SA

5

possible, a couple of other reg sites say it is ex-Air France, re-registered and is (was) to be broken up.
Iā€™m still waiting for somebody in Stockton to report they saw it on I 5.

In a retro Northwest liveryā€¦
