747 in CAK?
 

I flew to CAK a few days ago, and there was a 747 park out on the side of the field at the end of one of the taxiways. I think it's a 747-SP. Someone mentioned that it belongs to a religious group... I was just curiuos if anyone had more information. It seems a little strange to me.

Last time I went to CAK was to get new boots installed.

There used to a SP just across the border in Canada - Thunder Bay? - that some guy had flown up there to 'hide,' from his creditors, as if you could hide a Seven Four. Maybe someone brought it back.

Can't remember the details but you pretty much know all there is to it, my buddy from CAK told me it's an -SP that belongs to a pastor of some sort. Must be a rich dude...

It belongs to a local televangelist preacher here in the Akron/Canton area named Ernest Angley. They take it on mission trips a few times a year to Africa. Rumor is a middle eastern Prince gave it to him after converting to Christianity. They were doing touch and goes last week, pretty crazy sight to see.

Various sites show the 747SP was first delivered to TWA in 1980. It then went to American and eventually to the UAE. Leased/given (?) to Angley in 2004. Registration P4-FSH. (P4 is Aruba where former owner registered aircraft.) Often parked at Smyrna TN for storage.

Joyce Meier, another evangelical, has a G5 that I've seen at Spirit airport in STL...***??? Doin God's work on grandma's dime...(with a couple vacations thrown in here and there ;->).

...ask about the "Wings of Justice" old G-II in KSAV sometime...

Benny Henn, the guy that places his hand on a brain dead person and they majically return to normal right before your very eyes, has a G-V. It's named "Dove..." something. But when I was channel surfing one day and stopped on one of his ridiculous shows, he said that if you donated $xxx that a plaque with your name on it would be put inside the plane. What a scam!

We're in the wrong business, boys...instead of flying around RJs we could've been ministers, and flown our own G-V's...God and magical evangelical powers seem to sell way better than airline tickets, or at least it sells at a higher cost...instead of craggy old FA's, we could have a bunch of hot impressionable chicks from Ohio living in our compound...kind of like the pope in the middle ages, these guys are....
