Was on my way home yesterday driving by Eglin AFB and had the pleasure to watch a Navy P-3 doing some touch and go's. After his final touch and go I saw something large in the distance coming in. Waiting for the stop light, it came in just above and behind me so I didnt get a great look, but could tell it was either an MD-11 or DC-10. Couldnt tell if it had winglets or not. But I did notice on the tail it said QAI. Looked to be the colors on Qatar Airways, but the tail markings were different. It just said QAI. Anyone have any idea what it may have been? The aircraft type isnt really my concern, was just trying to figure out what the QAI was.

Are you sure it didn't say OAI - Omni Air International whose main business is military trooping flights. It'd be a DC-10.

Ahh yes, it most likely was OAI. As I said... i was driving and it was above and behind me so I didnt get a great look. Makes sense if it landed there.

The livery's a pearlescent white, with deep red lettering.

Had the "pleasure" of a few trips with them myself.

Yes I flew on OAI packed like a sardine in that plane, they have just one class: coach.
