Plain White 747-300 at Sydney

[David W]

Hi,

I was at Sydney airport on the 06/12/2009 to catch a flight to Christchurch and I noticed while driving towards the international terminal that there was a plain white 747-300 just about to take off it was around 6.00am-6.30am. Does anyone no where this plane was going or any information on it.

Thanks,

The system here at work shows a movement of a MAS6207D at 0620 on the day, which is a B742 registered TF-AAA.

That is probably your bird. It was going to MEL having come from KUL.

I can't attest to its color - they all look the same where I work!

Greetings David W.,

Last week, I observed a plain white 747 taking off from Dubai International Airport, in the UAE. I was not close enough to see any registration numbers.

There is probably more than one plain white 747 plying the skies of the world however.

Dubai Air Wing have plain white 747's from memory. They use them to collect racehorses from Oz on occasion.

That aircraft would be A6-GDP.

And that would make it a -200, not a -300.

Nigel's right,

it was a 200 and it was at cargo yesterday at around 1130am

Its sister is coming in this morning TF-AAB, as Malaysian 6203, due 1120 from KUL.

Once again, I can't attest to its colour, someone will have to go outside and look, but its data says its a B742
