You can't say is it from 2019 or 1999 (prior to dropping Landor), because there's no other planes visible or anything else era specific for that matter.

When a Swiss 777 put in at YFB with a blown engine a couple of years ago, Swiss chartered a An-124 to fly in the replacement. We saw the An-225 fly in to BFI several years ago to pick up a six-pack of 777 engines that were headed to GE for maintenance.

I remember - it was 2012, or 2013 - a Mid-J having engine troubles out of Phoenix. Eventually they didn't do a ferry because, if I remember correctly, they didn't have enough lift - given the hot weather - to go all the way to LHR without stopping en route. Having never been to Vegas I don't know whether it's any different there.

I'd guess it was this one from Doncaster? I can't see any other B747F flights into LAS last night...
Edit: I'm sure you are correct though.

However, the post a few above mine stated that the new engine was being sent in a 747F last night, and I assumed that poster had some inside knowledge on the matter...
