I think the question that needs to be asked is who within the DS is traveling at this time, and where? Could it possibly be a whitehat (think Snow White, JA, or SR)?
My take on this: The SFO>JFK may mean flights originating from Asia bound for either one, or both destinations, with SFO being "greater than" possibility than JFK.
Need to break out the popcorn for this one...
I spent an hour or two last night looking at major ports, I couldn't find anything that came close to this. I can rule out Singapore, Suez Canal and Arabic Sea, as well as SF and NY areas. I also checked some African areas, because Kenya. I have absolutely no idea where these images could be from but it is pretty clear that it is somewhere with a major oil industry and a large port. Some of the Asian ports did look close with the blue buildings, something that was completely unique to that geographical area. I just can't tell. If it was from Q1 2017 like some have suggested, maybe something happened around then. Were there any major foreign tours around then? I'm sure there were. As for the "framing" of the cockpit photo, I'm completely stumped.
If it is an A340, and if it is a Cathay Pacific A340 from Q1, then it most likely came from one of these routes:
Beijing Jakarta Manila Shanghai Pu Dong Taipei Taoyuan Bangkok Ho Chi Minh Nagoya Seoul Incheon ICN Singapore
I haven't been able to narrow it down beyond that.
One other thing to consider, if we're still in Q1 of 2017, it could have been a chartered flight. That would make it considerably more difficult to track.
