Also, I suggest reviewing your lack of commas and periods to make your posts more readable.

It could possibly have inventory to carry seats, but in general terms its a freighter. It's basically the C-17 Globemaster. Wikipedia has piles of info. :)

that is so odd. how come that airplane isn't listed within its fleet?

you'll find the answer here, wiki will give you an even wider picture about the QEAF. the 747-8I is likely to get the same livery, too.

Possibly an Amiri Flight aircraft, since they are all in Qatar Airways livery.

The Aircraft is Qatari Amiri AirForce Plane, not part of QR. The livery is of QR only.

As I can remember, that is a military freighter based in the US Air Force base in Qatar. The Qatari authority allowed it to be painted the QR livery.

As mentioned earlier, the Amiri aircraft (Royal Flight) are nothing to do with the airforce and are in Qatar Airways livery. It is most likely this aircraft, as has been mentioned above.
Speaking from experience... Can't really comment further.
