So it’s probably the one in California now.
That is one good picture… See the Captain and FO’s head.
What are these 744’s being replaced with?
Seems such a shame to park these beauties.
I don’t think that BA has taken any recent deliveries, there just isn’t demand for them in the current economy. Replacement aircraft will be B77W and A388.
And what a shame that is. The 747-8 would have looked so nice in BA colors.
It’s the kind of shot every photographer wants to get but probably never will. A combination of luck and skill…
