Hi guys,
I saw a 747 classic at
Jeddah(King AbdulAziz Int'l-JED/OEJN) Saudi Arabia
on 15 aug.
It was all white with blue tail and no titles.
I couldnt get any pictures though.
The time was around 1520.
Any Ideas?

There were windows on it,and it was parked next to Iran Air Airbus.
I know some cargo operators have freighters with windows,so its a possibilty.

I saw an Air Atlanta Cargo 747-300 like that today, with the dark blue tail, operating a MAS Cargo flight.

I flew on a similar aircraft with Air Atlanta in August. The reason why there is very little paintwork and no logos is because the company lease them to other airlines. It would not surprise me if the one you saw was used for passenger service.
