The first of two 777300ERs for Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF), which will replace the two 747400s currently in the fleet, delivering to Basel, Switzerland to be finalized by Jet Aviation.

The plane actually shouldn't have been at Paine Field, but it diverted to PAE about 1/3 of the way through it's flight the night before from the paint hangar in San Bernardino, California (getting AntiNuclear Flash White coat and livery) to Basel, after encountering a software error. After a 20 hour tech stop, she was on her way again!
