Totally amazing shot!

It is a good photo. I read that Panalpina was taken over by a company called DVS. I checked and now, N851GT is wearing the colors of Polar Air Cargo and N850GT is now wearing the colors of Atlas Air. N850GT flies into HSV about three times a week.

I don’t think they’ve operated any 747-8 for British Airways in at least 4-5 years.
