Mystery plane departing Nice
Hi all, just curious as to the origins of an extremely large 4-engine jet (of almost A380 proportions) departing out of Nice today at 14.30 approx. Curiously, there was no mention of it on the departures pages of the airport. I presume it was a big cargo freighter of some sort - it's colour scheme was white with bands of blue running horizontally along the fuselage. Sorry for the vague description but I didn't have time to fetch my glasses.

Yes, that's the one thanks very much! It was pretty spectacular to watch it depart - I would say it used every inch of the runway. It's climb performance was significantly different to the usual run of the mill 737s, A320s etc departing Nice.
