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.

12 aircraft and 4 of them are two seaters. Any good reason for that?

EC-003 / N291LH by José Luis Celada Euba, en Flickr

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...
