March 17, 2026. New York to Tehran.

I came across this old advertisement from the late 1970s.
At the time, still in the days of the Shah, Iran Air was a well-respected carrier with routes to the USA. Boeing 747-200s connected New York with Paris and London, with onward service to Tehran. A nonstop to Tehran was flown by a “special performance” 747SP.
The photo shows an SP in the carrier’s 70s-era livery, with the classic blue cheat-line and “Homa” tail logo.
