Remarks: These 747 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) were converted from passenger 747-400’s at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation. It can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter. Conversion was partially designed by Boeing's Moscow bureau and Boeing Rocketdyne with the swing tail designed in partnership with Gamesa Aeronáutica of Spain. Owned by Boeing Commercial Airplanes these freighters are called Dreamlifter since they help deliver major sections of the Boeing 787 from partner sites around the world to the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington for final assembly. This is the last 747 LCF out of the four initially envisioned by Boeing and it’s a former Malaysia reg 9M-MPA. Operated by Atlas Air, here it is arriving from Frankfurt Hahn.
