Nope,
The only time I have seen it was at Prestwick.It goes monthly there for Maintenance.
It was most probably a ad-hoc charter flight.

If it is an EK 747-400F then maybe it is used to ferry the Ruler of Dubai's horses around?

It's an Atlas Air machine - N408MC if I remember rightly, operated for Emirates on an ACMI basis. Appears in Amsterdam 2-3 times per week. Looks pretty good in EK colours.

Hi guys,
The reason you saw 408 in Geneva is because it did a "special charter" for a sheik.......he was there for 3 months and has done a bit of shopping (bullet proof cars) and other bits and pieces.
It took a 4 hour delay because the cars came with their fuel tanks full and we had to empty it before going.....
The aircraft went from Geneva to Abu Dahbi then Dubai....:cool:
thanks a lot for the info 74world,i thought it must have been a charter.:ok:
