Notes:

It's quite a privilege to have a Boeing 747 weekly landing in your hometown airport! This B742 was originally delivered to Varig, then it went to Air Hong Kong passing by Cathay Pacific and it's now with SA! Quite a busy life I would guess! It's seen here taxiing to the apron where it gets unloaded.

What a beauty, and what a great shot! This livery was so nice, too bad Southern Air got rid of their 747 fleet... and the 777F fleet all have the DHL hybrid colors :(
