Thanks for info B6130 looks well parked on the apron.

Can you give me any information on the National Airlines 747-400.

Seems to be a new airline;

The aircraft is an ex Air France 747F, they're getting rid of all their 747F's if I remember correctly.

I suspect that National Airlines is a new name for Murray Air of Detroit, Willow Run Airport as their web sites seem to be linked.
