Super shots. I dream about getting shots of those aircraft… As a biz jet collector I fully realize just how rare that SP and 75 are. Well done!

So the quoted price of bringing the TB patient back from Greece/Italy was I believe about $200,000 for the ambulance flight, would anyway disagree that the estimated cost of the Saudi visit could be $5m to $10m?:D

I guess this Undisclosed VIP A380 order is for the Saudi Royal Family?

Awesome set of pics and awesome traffic!

Anti-missiles systems yes, like on their 747-300, like Air Force One, and others VIP liners.

My guess as well. Probably anti heat seaking missiles. As you can see they are not just located under by the APU, but also at the rear of the wing pylons. The latter is also clearly visible in the APU photo.

On the airbus it is also interesting to see how many antennae there are. This guy must love his wireless connection! 😀

Could we guess that THE Royal Plane has some security modification above the APU, possible anti terrorist orientated?:confused:

I worry about loosing my wallet or my bag when flying. This guy would have to seriously worry about misplacing a plane or two! That’s quite a fleet he’s got there.
