I was walking and heard it taking off.

 

Looked up.  Yeah, Jumbo.   Cathay Pacific.

CPA 3128

 

As I was looking I noticed it did NOT have the turn ups at the wing tips.

 

So it is/was a CLASSIC.

 

Wow!

The -800 does not have massive turned up tips either - a gentle curve up only.

Closer look would have picked the shorter upper deck reminiscent of the -100 & -200 series.

Cathay flies the -400 and the -800 freighter, but no passenger variants of any 747 any more.

They retired their last - 400 passenger variant in 2016 and their last -300 in 1997.

Ah.

 

Yeah, but when I saw it, it was like at 3000 feet and climbing.

When they were introduced they were known as the Flying Block of Flats.  Nev
