Block Change (?)

Line 1488 (RC549) for Korean Air Cargo rolled out from the final assembly line yesterday or today, which means line 1492 (RC031) D-ABYL started final assembly. This is the frame that I believe signals a block change for
  • Lower weight
  • Tail tank enabled
  • 1.75 frames a month
among other things. We'll have to watch the roll out dates to verify.

Here's Matt Cawby's pic of line 1488:

    It looks like they are preparing it for repaint.

    That's LN 1437, right? Does that mean someone is taking it up? Any clues from the pic?

      I hope it's got a home, but it also could just be lighting on the rudder as they do some standard maintenance task.
