Up-close with the Gorgeous Queen of the Skies. I enjoyed this spotting session so much. You can't do much wrong when you have the combination of a Boeing 747 and a Beautiful Sunset in front of you. I had spotted Saudi 747s before, but this was my first (and last) time shooting one during golden hour. Once upon a time Saudi Arabian Airlines operated 747s to Mumbai daily. Then daily became monthly and now they're retired. The airline operates their Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s to Mumbai now. I like spotting them as well but they don't have the charm that a 747 has. This airframe was originally delivered to Malaysia Airlines as 9M-MPJ in 1997. She then flew for Alwafeer Air from 2009 to 2012 as HZ-AWA2. In Jan 2012 Air Atlanta Icelandic took over the airframe, registered her as TF-AAD and leased her to SaudiA the next month. She was withdrawn from use in December 2020 and is currently stored at Kemble Airport (GBA) in the UK. I was fortunate to photograph this airframe in her heydays. Seen here taxiing towards Runway 27 for her flight back to Medina, Saudi Arabia as "SV4508."
