Emirates 747?????

Took this photo going head to head with a 1000ft separation and am intrigued by the Emirates logo on the belly. Sub contracted or a 'real' Emirates???

If it is advertising I hope they aren't paying too much for it

If I am correct it's a 747-400F leased from Atlas Freight, can't remember the leasing time though.

Any possibility it is an A340-500 ? (engines look too large to be a A340-300)...... just a thought.

Deffinatly a 744F like Pedalz has already said, and is leased from Atlas and still carrys the N regerstration.

Deffinatly no an A340, the fuselage is to wide.

Nice shot btw

These should start going back to Atlas once Emirates' own 747-8Fs (10 in total) start arriving in 2010.

I believe that they have leased a B744F (OO-THC) from TNT too.
