Boeing 747-400 (G-VROM)

Is this plane empty do you think? How much does a repositioning flight cost the airline? Could they fill it up and charge $50 a seat or something just to pay for fuel? I'd pay just for the hell of it!

It's a beautiful shot Milan!

Great photo of a classic aircraft. I agree with Mark Thomas. Looks like a lightweight max takeoff. I did that once out of ORD to EWR and we began at SEA. No fuel at ORD - lots of passengers got off and very few got on. Kind of knew a hot takeoff was on the books. What a hoot!

Thanks for your comments guys. Yes aircraft empty minimum fuel for perhaps a 30min flight. Very impressive!

My gentle giant, no matter full or empty she is beauty.

I agree with A.Levent Bekdik She is & always be a Gentle Giant. It is wonderful to watch it takeoff or land.

Well done, Milan!

Beautiful aircraft, beautiful color scheme.

I'll never get enough of Virgin's "candy apple red" tails, cowlings, and winglets!
