I was at MCO today and noticed a 777 with no airline livery sitting on the extreme SW apron near the continental hanger. Short of a few stripes there was no livery to speak of.
There was too much heat distortion coming from the runways to get a Reg # in the picture.
Just wondering if anyone had an idea of what this aircraft was.
Can you post the picture anyways
At least describe the stripes and the fuselage colors: are the stripes blue? red? polka dotted? Is the fuselage bare silver? white?
It may also be possible to make a good educated guess as to the registration if we can see even part of it.
Trashed the pics, needed the space later.
Solid white fuselage with this blue and maybe grey stripes running down it. Same stripe pattern running laterally across the the tail in the upper third.
The stripes were very narrow. As a whole the pattern looked very undersized for a plane this size.
Might be this:

Looks like the aircraft is still in service with them- it was photographed as recently as Dec 2009 at KMCO.
I’m pretty sure this is the plane I saw.
Been sitting there a while.
Nice to see whatever Sheik’s kid really owns this thing likes to gamble and play at disney. Must have got himself locked up in Orlando for disrespecting The Mouse
