Post by CoyBoy »

Anyone know which airline the freighter belongs to its at KHI almost daily, has white fuselage and engines with dark blue tail and faint white logo on it, titles if any are barely visible and it dosent seem to be Polar Air which I had suspected.

Upto my knowledge Polar Air dont have blue colored engines, perhaps it has Red. I think the aircraft you are talking about is the same Oxon posted the pictures of some days before and that was Atlas Air.

Mystery solved, its Tradewinds Cargo but the one I spotted in KHI does not wear the cheatline or titles just tail colours, according to photo database at a.net the aircraft is newly acquired ex-Air India/FSB/Cargolux/Tower Air/UPS/Polar Air and is in the process of being painted in Tradewinds livery.

The airlines full livery is this http://www.airliners.net/open.file/894580/M/ most likely what Moin saw.
