Morocco's royal Boeing 747-8 BBJ, one of only a handful of 747-8s in head-of-state service worldwide, flown for King Mohammed VI and the Alaouite royal family. The jumbo had a colorful past — first flown in 1997 as an Asiana freighter, then with Air Namibia and Abu Dhabi's rulers — before the UAE offered it to Morocco, which has operated it since December 2015.
