Remarks: LACSA is the flag airline of Costa Rica and part of the central american alliance called "Groupo TACA" - hence the TACA logo on the tail and identical paint schemes. This flight is departing to San Jose, Costa Rica.
Remarks: This plane was the prototype for Boeing's "ER" extended-range 767 model. Delivered 12/19/86, previously flown by Gulf Air (A40-GF) and TransBrasil (PT-ATL).
Remarks: "Speedbird 206 heavy" is ready to taxi into position on 8R for departure to London as the sun sets. Notice the curvature of the wings, flexing with the weight of all that fuel. The 747 is a beautiful aircraft, particularly wearing the Union Jack colors.
