That particular aircraft is based out of JKIA and is owned by a cargo operator. The serial number is 10681 and is one of the last off the line and the newest one still flying. I am a good friend of the crew flying it and they have a Mod on the engines making them 552 engines and not the standard 532 engines. That means they don't need water meth which has been deactivated even out of Nairobi at 5500 feet fully loaded. The guys are running a really good operation flying cargo doing 50 plus hours a month in east Africa.

The aircraft was recently purchased from a Europen operator and ferried earlier this year to Nairobi. If anyone wants more information on the aircraft or pictures I can easily get them for you.
