I fly this airplane now... GE Aviation bought it in Dec 2010 and it is being converted into a new jet engine testbed. It is now based in Victorville, CA USA. JAL left it in great shape... when we picked it up, it was ready to load passengers. Everything was on board and working, including the passenger entertainment system. It still has three crew rest/buck areas scattered throughout, including in the rear above the passenger ceiling area. Beautiful aircraft! Thanks for the video.
