soupy264, you seem familiar with this particular aircraft, is it a 78 model# 0670 or is it an 80 model #0279 like the paint on the nose and tail seem to indicate?

Love that livery! Awareness of tail skid is vital to ground crews and this makes it easy and beautiful...

So, where is the "VP" registration?

And you bet Ken. Find a good pic of a DC-8-61 Stretch with the high-bypass engines and you will see a remarkable similarity to the A340-500 above...

This is a seriously significant aircraft type. It is the flagship of rear-engine twin airliners with T-tails, and while the BAC-111 flew first, the phenomenal success of this type set the mold for decades. That success also set the stage for the McDonnell-Douglas merger. Check out the DC-9 story, it is an eye-opener.
