Cargo mover Southern Air has unveiled a new paint scheme on one of their 747-300s. The aircraft, N749SA, was caught by photographer Luimer Cordero at Miami International Airport.

The Norwalk, Conn.-based operator recently acquired a pair of Boeing 777Fs that they are operating for Thai Cargo, joining their fleet of 16 Boeing 747 freighter variants. They are slated to receive a total of six 777Fs.
