Aerolineas Argentinas 747-400 to JFK Since July 1st

[Iberia A340-600]

Not sure if anyone else has seen this but I just noticed that Aerolineas has been sending the 747-400 up to JFK since July 1st.

The 747-400 that was involved in a take off incident in MIA on July 4th when a tractor took out an engine on take off (yes I know, crazy right?) was leaving from MIA to EZE after arriving from JFK. My mothers friends were actually on the flight when it hit the tractor!

I'd imagine the 747-400 is a summer upgrade or a temporary sub while an A340-200 is in mx or while the airline is waiting to take delivery of their first A340-300.

Looks like the flights will revert back to the A340-200 or even the -300 starting in the beginning of August so someone please go out and catch her!

I saw it land the other day, but didn't realize it was a -400. I assumed -200 and didn't pay much attention.
