Hello, it's a bit old now but very rare, and now the aircraft is all white, so it's rare and collector :D
Paris Orly, November 1st, 2006, official visit of president of Iraq, with Teebah Airlines 767-233 J2-KCN, in full Iraqi Airways c/s ! Maybe the first and last time I see this livery in France.

Landing RWY 06

J2-KCN leaves the runway and goes to the VIP terminal

After the ceremony, the aircraft is pulled to her stand

Really a nice livery

It's a shame their VIP 747SP is stored in all white c/s !

Great shots, so this aircraft has been painted all white now? Do you know why?
Thanks

It doesn't fly for Iraqi Airways anymore, but for Royal Falcon, according to Aerotransport.org, with reg. J2-JRF

I can only imagine the emotions that woudl flow if we saw that arrive during VIP week. Instead we get that evil MD-80.

It belongs to a Kuwaiti group, I also saw it once when it was leased to Iraqi govt with Iraqi titles.

Some really nice photos Stephane! merci beacoup!

True story, a few Easters ago, we're having dinner with one of my mother's friends from childhood. About 30 minutes into dinner, I learn that her husband was the former VP at Iraqi Airways BEFORE the US invasion in the 1990s.

Pretty amazing to hear those stories.
