How about more of those B744(BCF)'s ?

C-Rex · 02-06-2008, 05:29 PM

So how many of the -BCFs has beed released anyway ?

So far I have only gotten the JA8902 by BigBirdMK II and a Martinair PH-MPP by Dragon Wings (That I know of)
Feel free to post them if there are other BCF's out there.

I like freighters especially the 747's. I think these BCF's will be here with us for another 10-15 years, so why not release other BCF operators as well ?

I recently purchased the excellent 747-400 Atlas Air video by Just Planes Video. I highly recommend this video. It points out that Atlas fly their own aircraft painted as one of their clients and use their client's call-signs. The video has left me with a greater respect for these aircraft and their crews.

Oh, you meant the Dreamlifter.

In that case, TNT doesn't own this LCF, it's an Boeing owned aircraft.

Quote:

The LCF conversion, partially designed by Boeing's Moscow bureau, with the swing tail designed in partnership with Gamesa Aeronautica of Spain, is carried out in Taiwan by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation, a joint venture of Evergreen Group's EVA Air and General Electric.

That's a Large Cargo Freighter - LCF

The -BCF is Boeing Coverted Freighter. (The BCF is a conversion programme for used Boeings) B767's,747-400's is the common aircraft that has gotten trough the programme.

You can read more of the two aircraft types here:

BCF:
Boeing: First 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter Takes Flight
First 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter Flight Test Program Begins with Flight from Xiamen to Hong Kong

stupidcowz · 03-07-2008, 11:31 PM
