- The air frame of the Boeing 747-400 with registration number RP-C8168 was intended for Philippine Airlines. However, the airline did not take up the order.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
