ex-Kuwaiti 9K-ADB in storage at Riyadh

Also noted at Al-Salam at KKIA was a very long term storage ex-Kuwaiti Airways 9K-ADB B.747-269B SCD which to my knowledge has been stored for over 14 years and  now only recently moved to its present location.The aircraft has was de-registered back in August 2013 and re-registered as N309MF but at present there are no markings visible to indicate the change of registration.

Adjacent to the B.747 is the remains of a former Saudi Arabian Airlines MD90-30  HZ-APW which suffered a Left main gear collapse back in May 2013 at riyadh and may be damaged beyond repair but with the whole MD90 fleet sold with Saudi ,the only place left is the scrap yard!!!. Only  the Fuselage is left so may be the scrap man has already started.
