Great shot and funny enough I solved my own little mystery yesterday.
No photo since it was already at 34,000 ft. But often see a 4 costrail plane fly up the coast past Monterey. Finally got on FlightRadar and found out it was SQ A380 LAX-NRT.

Sorry I did not snap I picture but I don't think it would have come out that great through the glass at the gate.

I did spot at Love Field yesterday a white 747 with the words STATE OF KUWAIT on it. The was nothing else painted on this plane except tail numbers and maybe a small Kuwaiti flag. It looked very governmental (is that a word?) I am guessing this is the Kuwaiti governments version of Air Force 1?

Ya on reading that was crazy to think it takes 2+ years to do the custom install.
As POTUS you'd get two 747s.
