A Boeing 747-400 of the Dubai Air Wing, the government flight operation of the ruling Maktoum family, flown for Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The wing is famous for an even more unusual jumbo — a separate 747 fitted out to fly the Emir's prized racehorses, complete with vets and grooms on board.
