Atlas Air's N322SG

A familiar carrier with a not so familiar 747 dropped in early this morning from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH/IAH) as GTI2994 for a quick tech stop before continuing on to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL/MNL) as GTI2995. Atlas Air's N322SG a 747-481(c/n 30322, l/n 1250) is painted in the Golden Atlas livery, and sports a VIP passenger configuration.

This charter flight was transporting the Houston Rockets basketball team to MNL for an exhibition game.

30322 was originally delivered to All Nippon Airways as JA405A in June 2000. It was then acquired by Oasis Hong Kong Airlines as B-LFD in November 2007. It made its way to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest as N322SG in September 2008 until it was acquired by Atlas Air in May 2010.
