Thanks

I believe the lease for them fell through, the only thing that I could quickly find was this on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_B...006_and_Beyond

But also doing a search on the first 777 that was painted in RBA colours, this has now been repainted and flying with Transaero http://www.airliners.net/search/phot...nct_entry=true

This should answer your question:

The airline’s 1st B777-222 (ER) N207UA c/n 30213 was unveiled at Alliance Airport (Fort Worth) Texas on 29th April 2007 after being rolled out of the paint shop in the airline’s corporate colours. The aircraft remained there for many months before being flown back to the Marana for long term storage.

N207UA departed from Marana (MZJ) on 3rd June 2008 to Mirabel (YMX) prior to delivery for Transaero Airlines of
Russia, and became EI-UNX, ferried 8/08/08 RME to DME.

The second B777-222 (ER) N208UA c/n 30213 ferried from Singapore to Hong Kong 22.02hrs on 13th September,
and departed Hong Kong for Mirabel (Canada) in all white c/s on 15th September carrying N rego N208UA for reconfiguration and painting then for onward delivery to Transaero Airlines in Russia.
