The plane is white, with a red and purple stripe with yellow piping in the middle running along the body, and a red tail with a purple stripe with yellow piping at the bottom.

There are gold "Royal Jordanian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in English to the front, repeated in an Arabic script to the rear, with additional "golden "Cargo" titles on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of a Jordanian flag.

This was back when you could stand by the fence between the runway and the Bath Road, and not be stopped by the Police - not something I would recommend anyone do now.

A couple of months after this, it was purchased by the USAF and converted to an E-8C J-STARS aircraft.
