dissemination of airport information; (2) aircraft dispatching; and (3) crew management and discipline; which collectively rendered ineffective the air carrier's operational control system. Aftermath After the accident, the aircraft was repaired and returned to service. N747PA was re-registered and leased to Air Zaïre as N747QC from 1973 to March 1975, when it was returned to Pan Am, and it was renamed Clipper Sea Lark and then Clipper Juan T. Trippe in honor of the airline's founder. It remained with Pan Am until the airline ceased operations in 1991 and was transferred to Aeropostal and then briefly to Kabo Air of Nigeria and back to Aeroposta, and it was finally cut into pieces in 1999 at Norton AFB in San Bernardino, California, where it had been stored since at least 1997. The parts of the aircraft were shipped to Hopyeong, Namyangju, South Korea, and reassembled to serve as a restaurant for some time until it closed down. Petitions and campaigns from numerous aviation enthusiasts for museums or local governments then occurred to preserve the historical airplane. The aircraft was scrapped in 2010. In 2017, Airways Magazine made an article claiming that N747PA had only partially been scrapped and that three major pieces of fuselage were saved and moved not far away to the suburb of Wolmuncheon-ro. The former aircraft was then reported to be used as a church in a Korean Air livery. (Location:1052-7 Wolmun-ri, Wabu-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea). However, the claim was proven false as the 747 claimed to be N747PA, had been there long before the aircraft had been scrapped. As of 2020, the unknown church 747 had been removed as well and replaced by a new building. See also N747PA, the aircraft Involved in the accident.
