The world that is aviation and the enthusiasts that enjoy the hobby has been ill served by the loss of those variants that excited us all.

The B747SP always tested my understanding of the Jumbo Jet it looked odd but was still BIG!

I flew in a Pan Am 747Sp from Miami to LAX, I remember thinking its rate of climb was far better than a normal 747 -- we were at altitude quickly. Are any of the SP's still flying?

Yes, there are some Middle Eastern countries that use them. Also some one-off uses like this one by Pratt & Whitney for testing.
