    Notes: This beautiful flying palace had been owned by the ruling family of Qatar for many years. It was brought to Kelowna several weeks ago and is parked at the KF Aerospace ramp. This short version of the 747 is very rare now, and only 8 of them are still flying. Nice to be able to see one up close. Its in immaculate condition for one approaching 40 years of age.
