From what I understand, this flight was operating for/chartered by UPS. Quite a few UPS containers & mail was seen being offloaded. So we may possibly see it back in the near future HOPEFULLY

The JT9D's sound much better than the CF6's on Southern Air's 747's IMO anyway, I miss seeing/hearing them on what used to be the two daily JAL 747 flights, it's amazing to think that they don't even operate the 747 at all now.

Would've loved to have seen this bird, oh well, hopefully she'll come back in the future!

Great shots Chris!

Shoulda waited for the departure, but the thought of peak hour on the M5....

Hi all,
The schedule kept changing earlier this week with different rego's, now aircraft is a B747-400 (N745CK) , I'm sorry if anyone was hoping to see a classic, there is a small chance it might revert back to a classic before Wednesday.
Also the timing has changed, if I have converted time properly should arrive early Wednesday morning and depart around 4:15pm.

Subject to change
