Default Green 747 at Avalon
I was driving past Avalon airport yesterday and noticed a green 747 parked there. The plane was green all over except the tail, which was red. Anyone know what aircraft this is, if it flies at all or is it just a training plane of some sort?

That's what I'm thinking, given the red tail. I was driving along the freeway at the time so I didn't get a good close look at it. I am unsure if it was a 744 or not.

Wish QF would let go and cut it up, becoming an eyesore.
