I was going through some photos from last August and stumbled across this white 747 (-100 or -200) at SWF off to the right of the passenger terminal.

Does anyone know anything about it?

Sorry, but this was the best I could do:

Hey Will,

That 747-200 is an ex-Air France machine, F-GCBA.

Talking to my friend at airport ops I learned that it will be used for training. I know that the airport is in the current process of re-storing it.

That beautiful White 747 is now parked down by cargo.
