Think it was the one sitting in Entebbe for a while. Saw it hooked up to an airbridge in Nairobi some time back with a western crew, Haj flights perhaps? Now seems abandoned, what about the G reg 747 that has recently been towed from the Cargo apron to the military ramp.

it's a -500, paint scheme looks ex-transat.

Braq Air, used mostly at the moment for UN flights.

TZ is Mali registration.
In this case, the airplane was not a -500, but a -250, and belongs to SAM Intercontinental.
The company is well organized and has quite good maintenance.
They have also been designated the national airline of Mali, last I heard.
They do ad-hoc charter flying only, I believe, a good bit of it for the United Nations.
