Sorry - I meant 2 engines on each wing.

Oh I see. In that case it was definitely a 747. I'll just throw out a guess and say it was cargo - there's a good number of operators of all white cargo 747s around (Atlas and Kalitta come to mind), although I'm not sure why it didn't show up on the flightaware website.

If their point was to make you go crazy, I think it worked.

Well, now that the number of engines has been clarified......

...................but about a large two engine aircraft with a bump on the back up near the front?

When Aurora had its Forrestal class carrier model out in the 70's, there were a number of aircraft that resembled that. Not knowing at time what they were, I called them "(something) 747's".

As it was, they were A-3's (Douglas). Given the initial, if misleading description, they could have fit that picture.

Except.......according to wiki, the last "Whale" ended flying in 2011.

Equally, on that description, it might have been mistaken, engine wise, for a Vickers Valiant

but they haven't flown since 1965.

What airport was the plane landing at? If it's towered you can go on LiveATC (assuming they have a feed) and listen to the audio archives to find out what plane it was. All times are in UTC.

My best guess is an aerial tanker used to fight forest fires. There are 747's that have been converted for that purpose. It would also explain why it wouldn't show up on Fight Aware, because these airplanes often don't file IFR, and Flight Aware doesn't track VFR flights.

Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why a 747 would be operating at GJT.

Three possibilities come to mind.

If the military has loading equipment at the airport it most likely was a chartered 747 either delivering or picking up military cargo.

Could be the aircraft diverted there due to weather at their destination airport.

Last, the airline may have needed somewhere to park the aircraft for a few days. If the airline just finished a charter into a military base in the region and the aircraft will be just sitting for a few days before the next trip, often the military will require the airline to fly their aircraft to a commercial airport for parking.

I believe DC-10s are the largest aerial tankers currently used to fight wildfires. Evergreen had a 747 'supertanker' but it was taken out of service a couple years ago and Evergreen has gone bankrupt.
