Malaysia Airline 9M-MPD

What can you think after you look on the title?? 9M-MPD once a famous aircraft in Malaysia Airline (MAS) or just a normal super jumbo B747 of MAS? Alrite, let me tell you what! This MAS's Boeing 747-400 with registration 9M-MPD had totally changed its colour scheme. What a serious posting rite...

This B747-400 or 9M-MPD had a nice livery around the year 2006 till 2008. A nice "Hibiscus" livery which carry a title "An Experience Redefined" had been launched by former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (the 5th Prime Minister of Malaysia) during the newly launch's cabin of this aircraft. However, this nice livery brings a lot of joy for the aviation freak especially for those who had a camera with DSLR lenses. This super jumbo fly high in the sky and will be easily be spotted due to its bright red colour. Anyway, this aircraft's livery had been scrapped of and changed back to its original MAS colour which is blue, red and white somewhere around 2006 or 2007 (i guess).

Now, this wonderful B747 had changed its livery to a green and slightly yellowish colour. What a shock when I saw this too. However the livery is not a MAS livery but it is a newly formed airline based in Jeddah. Al Wafeer Air is established to serve the Haj and Umrah operation. So, what can you define from this? MAS sold or charterd 9M-MPD to Al Wafeer Air due to the economy crisis? Lets search for more details on the web and maybe we will get more surprise!!! Last but not least, congratz Al Wafeer Air from being established and operate with MAS's Boeing B747-400 and also welcome to the aviation world.

This is the new 9M-MPD's livery in Al Wafeer Air's livery.
