Air China retires one of its three remaining Boeing 747-400s

[SHIMEJI]

September 6th, 2024 marks a sad day for aviation enthusiasts as Air China retires one of its three remaining Boeing 747-400 passenger jets.

The aircraft, a Boeing 747-4J6 registrated as B-2445 (MSN 25882), had joined the Air China fleet since 1994 and had flown Air China's most important domestic and international routes for 30 years prior to its retirement.

In its last flight, flight CA1425 from Beijing to Chengdu, the aircraft departed Beijing Capital Int'l Airport (PEK/ZBAA) at 11:29 UTC after a two-hour delay and arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu Int'l Airport (CTU/ZUUU) at 13:43 UTC, where the aircraft would be stored.

Good evening spotters,

I saw this aircraft which is probably for FlyDubai's new aircraft but I could not find any information about it.

Could anyone please find the info (Reg and Serial Number)?

The only thing I found is that the line number is 8830.

Regards,

Hello,

I was wondering if I could have these photos prescreened. My past 10 photos have been rejected and I'm still trying to get my first photo accepted.

Thanks a lot,

Hey all, may I get some feedback on some of these shots? Still learning what's acceptable and what's not. Let me know what's wrong and I will adjust them as needed. Thanks!...

I don't know how to edit yet, however, does anyone think with some type of editing, these photos could be accepted maybe? These were all taken with a Samsung Galaxy S8, yes I know, not the best, but that was what I was stuck with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯...

Hello everyone,

One of my photos was rejected yesterday. It is a Boeing 787-9 of Egypt Air that was rejected for Bad Motive.

I received the email when I was spotting. There was a group of Jetphotos users, they said this rejection could not be more ridiculous. I tried to appeal, and I waited for the response for nearly a whole day, but still, there is no result. Therefore I turned to here for help.

I understand that there are some common situations that may result in such rejection, like the appearance of faces or car license plates, or something else. Just as the guideline notes,



This rejection really confused me. No identifiable license plates or faces are shown, and I did not manipulate original information, or photoshop anything except dusts. 19 photos were uploaded after I came home from PEK, only this one was rejected. I hope someone can explain this rejection to me so that I can learn about it and avoid making similar...

Well. It seems as if this topic has waited for me. On German TV somebody said, that from this moment on, nobody on this planet will ever be able
to buy a brandnew Boeing 747. Because in Seattle, they stopped to build 747s.
And afaik, that worldwide was the one and only place where 747s had been built, since 1969.

This is what the manufacturer himself publishes today:

So. Feel free to share links, jetphotos (linked to the database or not yet published) stories and history about the Boeing 747 with me.

Lufthansa was and still is part of the Boeing 747 history, since 1970. Since more than 52 years....

I am very new to this site and any feedback/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I have the picture that keeps on getting rejected due to bad info. I tried the current N2002L reg that it is currently flying with Boeing's Charleston plant. I have also tried the XA-DHM reg that it will have upon delivery to Aero Mexico. I also added into comments that it is the first reg. When you search N2002L nothing pops up and XA-DHM shows a Gulfstream. Could that be the reason for the reject?
