AA operated 747-100 planes from 1970-1984/85. They also operated some
747SP planes from 1986-1994. One of the AA owned 747s, N905NA, became a Space Shuttle Carrier.

In early 1970 before AA took delivery of its own Boeing 747, the company leased two Pan Am 747-121s. These aircraft were painted in full AA livery, and were operated until early 1971, then returned to Pan Am after AA received its own new 747-123s. Most Boeing 747–100 wide body aircraft were retired from passenger service in the late 1970s and served as freighters until their final retirement in 1985.
