This was a very unusual visitor to Prestwick,it turned up doing a flight for MK Cargo Airlines and is seen here taxiing to stand 7 at the Cargo Terminal.

This photo was taken from the Spectators Terrace .There was only 30 seconds of sun during the entire afternoon and fortunately I caught it on the kalitta 747,the aircraft looks like it is in a spotlight as the foreground and background are in shadow.

Just six weeks earlier, this old cargo Jumbo literally lost its No 1 engine over Lake Michigan, which reminds us of the 1992 crash of El Al's 4X-AXG into an apartment block in Amsterdam.
