Philippine Airlines Flight PR-105, a Boeing 747, is welcomed by a water cannon salute as it taxis on the tarmac of NAIA Terminal 1 early Monday, September 1. The Boeing 747-400, with 285 passengers on board, was on its retirement flight from San Francisco after almost 35 years in service. PAL began retiring the last remaining 747 aircraft in the fleet shortly after the US Federal Aviation Administration restored Category 1 status to the Philippines, enabling PAL to begin deploying their new modern and fuel-efficient Boeing 777 fleet to the US.
