Mystery Plane

I was checking on local landmarks in Google Earth, when I came across this, off the coast of KK.



It appears to be a Boeing 747-400. However, I'm not aware of any regular 747 flights in and out of KK.

Here's a pic of the plane off the coast of KK. Sutera Harbour is to the right, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Marine Park to the left. KK airport to the lower right. The plane's position is consistent with the flight path after take off.


Here's a pic of the plane that I think it is:


The DigitalGlobe pics of the area are from 2002, so the plane has been long gone. The Sultan was known to have made trips around the neighbourhood in his personal 747. Must be nice....
