Prepar3D V4.5 | UPS Boeing 747-8F - London Stansted turnaround | Farewell 747!

Hi all, hope everyone's having a good summer despite the uncertain times we're in.
This month we reached a significant and rather sad milestone in the story of aviation. The Boeing 747, the world's first widebody airliner and arguably the most recognisable of all commercial aircraft (aside from Concorde) will cease production after the last remaining orders have been fulfilled. The final iteration of the jumbo, the 747-8, has a stretched fuselage and completely new wing design, as well as new ultra efficient GEnx turbofan engines. UPS is the largest operator of the type, and with 12 still on order it is likely to be taking delivery of the very last 747 to roll off the production line.
I thought it would be a fitting tribute to feature one of UPS's stunning -8s, in this case N605UP 'Sprit of Joe Sutter'. Here we see her operating flight 5X4, arriving on a sunny summer evening at London Stansted, having flown from Cologne in Germany. This is a rare sighting, as this flight usually arrives at STN during the early hours of the morning. Having landed and parked, her crew disembark and the long job of unloading and reloading begins, to prepare the aircraft for its next leg to Hong Kong next morning.
As always, hope you enjoy the video, and as always please feel free to like, share, comment and subscribe!

Thanks Tom, appreciate the kind comments. I am working on that, it's much more difficult to get these kinds of shots in MFS2020 at the moment, but hopefully I'll get there soon :)
