What??? Man...and here I am stuck down in the weather room again! I don't even have windows 
I wonder if this is that one-off A340 I'd heard about? Maybe I can get upstairs for a peek anyway.
You guys better get this one!

WOW this is a rare catch.. I didnt even think Saudi had a A340,but after checking around they DO...This aircraft seems to be based at IAD and goes out on training flights ,then goes back into IAD.....Seems like aircraft are starting to leave the east coast as huricanne Irene gets closer...Keep a eye on flightaware, times could change alot..............

Got some pics of it landing on 6L along with fellow OPShots geeks Andrew, Ken, & Hank. Now just need to figure out why the photo upload page won't let me login.

I got some shots from the 100th and uploaded one. Everything should be getting back to normal now in the gallery. It is also a bit to late for a GEEK alert but there is a Swift Air 767 scheduled in tonight at 2am: You need to be a member to view our links.

No problem with the login now, just put up some photos. I believe OPShots will be the first the first aviation website with action pics of this beauty wearing Saudi colors. Great job Geeks!

Word has it that we are going to see a lot of interesting UA/CO stuff tomorrow (Saturday!) I have no info on what or how many, just a vague head's up from a co-worker tonight. I will be gone the entire day attending a wedding, so you guys gotta get out there and catch it all!

I was eating dinner on my deck last night in Garfield Heights shortly before 6:00 p.m. and saw a large 4-engine jet passing over my house going roughly westward. I never got a great look at it, but it appeared to have a white belly and bluish tail. I'm usually pretty good with identifying airliners in flight, but I am not sure if this was the Saudi A340 or not. It appeared to be flying a bit higher than a plane approaching CLE. I thought initially that it might a DL 747 headed for DTW. Do you think that's what I spotted?
