JAL to drop air freighter flights in October

[lijk604]

Japan Airlines will sell or park nine wide-body aircraft in October when it discontinues scheduled air cargo service. JAL has operated freighter flights for more than 50 years, but the recent downturn has taken its toll on the business. The company says it will now try to sell more cargo space on passenger flights as it focuses on a return to profitability.

More 747's being parked. :(

I will surely miss seeing the JAL Cargo 747s Glad I managed to get one 747 cargo in the new colors before. They were always a pain to get because of their night time movments. JAL Cargo was one of the airlines that have so many variants on their Planes.
One of my faves was the "Super Logistics" theme that they had on the silver and the white. Check out the one with just "JA" instead JAL.
Unfortunately by the time they got the 400s JAL basically pulled out of JFK.
First shot was my last of the Cargo.. :(
Some of my measly contribution

Yes I like it too Nlovis,
It gave their 200s a nice sporty look. Yes something else we don't see much of anymore.

I love those silver bullet bare metal 747s.
CPA, NWA JAL MKA etc

Wow they only have two left?
I have more than my fare share of CPA bare metal 747s. Its too bad they are painting them back into the normal colors.

huh 2 left? they been painting them? As far as I know the coversion 744's they have left in bare metal are the 1st few bcf's. And if I rememebr correctly one of them is the actial 1st BCF. Far as I know I dont think they can paint them over though i'm prob wrong as always.
