Thanks Bill!  It's neat to see a different airline bring a 747 to town.  I'll try to get it again on Friday.

The 747SP as pictured above uses the single slotted type flaps. Some refer to it at as a simplifed flap. The standard 747 uses triple slotted. Boeing was able to save weight on the SP by using the Single slotted flaps. I think the 787 uses single slotted flaps.
If your the Village Idiot then that makes me idiot extraordinaire...
