Oh, you meant the Dreamlifter.

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

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.
