One of the best movements in my entire collection!! N747GE is an ex-Pan Am 747-100 testbed aircraft for General Electric although it is powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7A engines. It’s one of the oldest 747s still in service with its first flight in 1970. It’s departing via 25L for Victorville via Guam and Honolulu after a month-long stay in HKG where it underwent maintenance at HAECO. The testbed 741 is due to be replaced with a 744 in the future.

Raihan, thanks! S. Kustov - Thanks for the comment and yes I was very fortunate to have been able to get photos of this. It's one movement I'll never forget. Cheers guys!
Absolutely stunning catch! Considering the age of an airplane and overall number of 747-100s in operation it may be one chance in lifetime to see it in the air. You are so lucky!
Lovely Shot Mate :)
