Nice photos, did you get the 787

No Grand prix this weekend so maybe it's now a regular weekend aircraft?

What's that blue behind it?

[Ian K]

Nope, too cloudy for 787

You might be right Mike, will have to monitor it.

The Kuwait Airways website doesn't list a B747 on the Fleet page.

Wikipedia:

Kuwait Airways also operate aircraft for official State business. The fleet has a Kuwait Airways inspired livery with State of Kuwait titles, and is composed of one A300-600, one A310-300, one A319, one A320, two A340-500 and one 747-8BBJ on order.

The sole 747-400M, though part of the state fleet, is used by KU for their own services as well, therefore it carries full livery of the airline with an official state seal next to the title. This aircraft's upper deck is in VIP configuration. The main deck is configured for split business/economy seating. This aircraft is used on high density routes like India and Egypt when required. Use of the 747 is not restricted to premium routes to Europe or USA.

9K-ADE has operated KAC103 on 20th, 22nd and 27th April.

Maybe an aircraft has gone "tech"?
