hey all,
whilst shooting at LHR on saturday i photographed this Aircraft in the late evening, right before we headed home at about 8pm. i thought it may be a special livery, but i cant recall any looking like that…..mind you, the picture is not of the best quality; it was heading Due east if that helps at all.

Maybe the underbelly just looks blue because there is no light there, remember there is a light on the tail which is why that part is lite up:diablo:

thanks for the excellent responses people! it seems that the general consensus is that it is the Kalitta everyone is talking about. i tend to agree…..it just looks….”wierd” in the picture.

I did some looking around. And i found a Kalitta Air 742 first calling London CENTER(I think?) at 1944 And if it was heading from west(AMS as others have said) i presume it would take around 10 minuites for it to get there. so that gets you to around 2000
Heres the details from SBS:
CKS333 N705CK United States 19:44:51
The plane you saw:) /

i was thinking kalitta, but i was wondering about the blue underbelly towards the front of the aircraft…..i don’t think its an illusion, as it appears in more than two of my photos of the aircraft….trick of the light maybe?
