Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 This is the 1st of the 2 re-fitted 747 for conversion into 747-400LCF. It will be used for carrying 787 sections. EVA's Aviation Technologies division did the engineering work for the conversion. Large cargo loader for the 747LCF, this was made by a Quebec co. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 Interesting picture, Denny, tail looks more like a 747SP tail (i.s.o. 'normal' 747) to me So, 787 fuselage is wider than 747 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 The pic with EVA Air hangar in foreground was taken on 8/14 according to a fellow spotter. EVA has just completed the airframe works. The 2nd green tail 747 will be the 2nd to be converted. All flights taking off from CKS' Rwy 6 can see it. SQ usually uses Rwy 6, and I'm sure LeeCH may have seen these 2 green 747s parked nearby since early this year. The Dynamic Blue livery 747LCF is a fake pic, link is here: http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairline...hancer=Jetabout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 I believe this bird was an ex-Air China bird, hence the Boeing 747-4J6 designation, old rego, B-2464. She has spent sometime at the Marana Air park (desert) along with former MAS 747-400M Combi. She went to Air Algerie later. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0509023/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0866574/L/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
