The only jet Qatar flies that has four engines that I know of would be an A380. Hopefully some pictures will be posted. Would love to see an A380 fly in and out.
Just saw a picture, looks like an A340 to me, could be wrong. I didn't think Qatar flew A340's and I could be wrong but not an A380.

Or could be 747-8F Cargo. The only two that would have 4 engines

Qatar as an airline quit flying the A340 in 2019, but the Qatar operates a fleet of 15 jets for use by the Royals and Government and in that they have 3 of the A340 aircraft so I would guess there is somebody significant from Qatar arriving.
I prefer the Isle seat

Yes, cool link! It's amazing how small that Jet Blue plane looked, versus the Qatar one.

It is an Airbus 340-600, the longest commercial aircraft flying today, longer than the A380.. The YouTube says it's an A340-541.

You are 100% correct. Also, its not the longest commercially flying airplane today, that goes to the Boeing 747-8i series and is being flown by 2 European countries commercially. Just an FYI to correct another statement.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. π

And still there as of last night. I know, been keeping my eye on it from the SXM island cam. Hopefully I'll be on line when it starts to move. Have to go to my bank today to wire some money to BSV for our upcoming visit and hope it's not gone by the time we get back.

Whale Tail--not to change the subject, but why do you wire money to BSV? Just mail them a check..

I thought they accept checks only. When we contacted Tracey she gave us the option of check or wire transfer and provided us the info on where to wire the money. Easier for us.

Whale Tail--sorry, I didn't pay attention that you are Canadian. That adds a whole 'nother layer to the situation.
Sorry, for the detour in the thread.
Was anyone able to confirm who was on the plane? If anyone sees when it takes off, please post..

Bill Dauterive--I had to remove the photos that you posted, as there was an obscene photo down the page from the Twitter post with the photos. I had no idea how to remove just the obscene photo.
