Under the worst conditions in days, this beauty arrives in the middle of a thunderstorm. Still, it is a 747 and every effort must be made to photograph them. Originally delivered to China Airlines Cargo in 2000, it flew with them until parked at Victorville in 2012. It became part of the Magma fleet in 2023 and still retains the blue parts of its previous operator on its belly.
