First test flight after conversion for the first Spanish MRTT from Getafe Airbase and Airbus factory (LEGT). Note it still wears partial IB livery as it was EC-MJA when working for IB. https://flic.kr/p/2pnSYzQ
CASA988 didn't go with the others. For some reason it went first to Getafe (LEGT) and after a brief stop left for LPLA.
Wearing tempo spanish register EC-003 and taped N291LH so it can be quickly changed for next leg.

One of the best looking Virgin 747-400, G-VLIP "The Falcon" flew her last leg to Ciudad Real Airport (CQM / LERL) where she is kept in storage along with G-VGAL "Jersey Girl" and G-VROY "Pretty Woman". Now we know that the latter has been allocated by GECAS to Atlas Air...
UPDATE
new ops schedule, ETD LEGT 11:00UTC ETA EHEH 13:00UTC
Sorry if my previous message was not clear enough for you and don't worry, she will be
operating there for years for you to take a pic
Heads Up for T-054!
Three days after receiving T-056 fully painted in standard livery (except for serial) at Getafe factory the first MMRTT (T-054) will operate 10-aug LEGT-EHEH on delivery flight, arrival programmed for 16:00UTC, so keep your cameras and radar apps ready.
Cheers
