Boeing 747-400 TF-AAA is sunk to be part of Dive Bahrain’s underwater scuba park

This is actually a good thing. Creating artificial reefs like this promotes healthy reef growth. And, it will also hopefully draw divers who will see reefs and want to protect others, natural and assisted, like this one.
Small detail in the title, it’s a -200 series. Awesome project!
Was that "Airport 78" or "Airport 79"?
"Airport '77." Saw it in the theater when it came out.
That’s right. The others had them shooting flares out the Concord’s DV window at mach1 in a dogfight. Lol!
Guess it take its place in history along with the one in Oregon that's part of a waterpark slide mounted on top of the building.
