ZS-SBK is the new test model for the Boeing company,they call it the " B747-350" and apparently a very nice aircraft to fly !


Sorry for my poor grammar earlier on

Thanks fellow Capetonian. I wasn't in. I do follow on Flightstats. Will also try for a photo.

Good to see the queen overhead again, as much as I enjoy the A343 & 6. 200 is too short & basically a re-worked 300-B4.

Best.

In ACC the "complaints" guy show stop (according to him) and the pilot (& cocpit crew) said he did not.............well the lamp pole next to the tarmac said he saw nothing but got a smack from a winglet.......... WL was removed in ACC.....
