It is unusual to see brand new aircraft in storage at Victorville. This 747-8F was an early-build model cancelled by Atlas Air. Not finding a new customer for it, Boeing painted it into the Seattle SeaHawks promotional team colours. It is now in basic colours, engines removed and hopefully awaiting a new buyer. Those yellow blocks hanging off the engine pylons are weights to stimulate the weight of the engine. Without these, the wing does not bend down the way it is designed to if it had engines fitted. This in turn puts stress on the wing different the the way it was designed.
