The arrival of the 747 in the fleet was not just a technical feat but a national milestone. A royal visit would amplify that pride — a powerful photo opportunity for press, showing the Pahlavi monarchy aligning itself with achievements on the world stage. The 747, capable of flying long distances, could be seen as a bridge between and the rest of the world. For the Empress to personally inspect or inaugurate such an aircraft would underscore aspiration for global connectivity.
Walked through the cabin, inspecting first-class and passenger compartments, perhaps marveling at the space and the luxury. Met with top homa officials, engineers, and crew — a moment to highlight the technical collaboration between and Boeing, and the professional expertise of aviators. Delivered a short speech or remarks (in front of dignitaries or press) about the importance of aviation in future, celebrating both tradition and innovation. Possibly toured the cockpit or maintenance area, demonstrating her genuine interest in the machine, not just its symbolic value.
