I have also seen it before and its take off sound is quite different from other 747. Its not that noisy but regarding size, it is really huge! Love it in Etihad golden livery.

Its one of the new 747-800 series. Too bad Boeing is struggling to sell them.

The 747's that operate out of Pakistan are really old, inefficient and very noisy. All the Saudi airlines 747's that fly to Pakistan wouldnt make it into the EU or US/Canada due to noise restrictions.
