Nice photos. It appears as if the thrust reversers are open.

Nice pics!
But why is this type of aircraft still not flying for a private (cargo) operator?

I saw it coming in on RWY25R around 3oclock. After that the rwy chnged to rwy 02+07 and it departed again on 7L

Maybe there were 2 y'day?

maybe the fact that the operational costs are to high??? Same counts for the C-130, if I'm not wrong, HeavyLift used one, but the costs were to high... (correct me if I' wrong

)
