The President of Yemen coughed up $300 million for the Boeing 747SP, but unfortunately, it suffered some serious damage in the summer of 2015.

The news came as no surprise to the public, who has been watching the civil outrage and conflict in the region for years now. Still, with only 13 of the original 45 models left, we need to take extra precautions to protect these 45,000-pound jumbo jets.
