Rare - Saudia Boeing 777-300ER visits Adelaide [HZ-AK28]

Ok 7 months late but here it finally is! Saudi Arabian Airlines brought a very special visitor to Adelaide along with their national soccer team to play the Socceroos at Adelaide Oval for the World Cup Qualifier in June. The Boeing 777 received a water cannon salute upon arrival in Adelaide. This was the first visit of a Saudia 777-300ER in Australia! Very happy to have caught it, such a beautiful livery on the bird too - painted with Saudi Arabia's famous landmarks on both sides of the aircraft. If you look closely at 3:12 you can see vortexes forming on the inlet of the GE90-115Bs as they spool to take off power! The plane went direct to Jeddah.
