About JA8582
Japan Airlines MD-11 JA8582 was used mainly on international flights from 1994 to 2004.

When JAL introduced the MD-11, they gave it the nickname 'J-Bird' and painted it with motifs of wild birds found in Japan, each of which became iconic.

Although the J-birds, like all MD-11s, were short-lived as passenger variants, JA8582 was the only one of the MD-11s to be given the 'Ark of the Sun' paint scheme, and spent the longest time with JAL.

After that, it was sold to UPS and had a second life as a cargo aircraft.
