Biggest aircraft ever known since the 60's, she will probably never fly anymore next year...

F-GCBH was built & Delivered on 16/09/1986 to Air France this 747 was retired from passenger service and was converted as a freighter in 1994 and worn Air France Cargo colors. During 13 years Air France Cargo used this old classic 747 to be retired of service in 2007 and sold to Ocean Airlines, a new customer.
