This was my first time seeing it arrive in daylight. It also came last week, but it arrived at 11:30 PM
On June 6, 2026, a Boeing 747-433M from the Dubai Royal Air Wing landed at JFK on Runway 22L. The aircraft, operating as DUB3, flew from LAX to JFK. A6-COM is one of the last active 747-400M (Combi) models, which is often used to transport the UAE's royal family and their horses. Its arrival at JFK today was truly remarkable, and I’m thrilled I had the opportunity to see it again!
Probably a training flight since it was doing touch-and-goes at every Long Island Airport
I've noticed recently that I've been seeing more and more National Airlines activity at JFK, as well as Omni Air International and government / military flight ops. Almost all of the National Airlines flights seem to be coming from CUN, and the only outlier was from MCO (NCR723 / N873CA)
