Dont Evergreen operated it for Boeing?
Not exactly. The LCF was part designed by Moscow’s Boeing Bureau and the swingtail design was done in Spain. The actual conversion was done in Taiwan by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation. There will be a total of three LCF’s in operation and these are all ex Chinese passenger planes.

Is the LCF going to make regular trips through PIK does anybody know?
It’ll be in for fuel if required everytime it picks up 787 parts from Italy, on the same ‘fuel card’ as Evergreen.;)

Man o man the Dreamlifter is an incredibly ugly aircraft! not like it was designed for it’s apperance though before anyone bites my head off :diablo:.
Nice selection all the same :).
My thoughts entirely. Yes the LCF is so ugly, but what a catch, all 3 at one airport in one day.

Nice pics – that Il76 was RA76950 and having seen it in Vienna last Friday apparently bringing back an A330 engine that had ‘lunched’ itself in China somewhere (Shangha maybe)

Superb pictures, that Dreamlifter must be the ugliest plane Boeing have ever produced. Makes the Beluga look like art in motion!

Very nice shots! I know the IL76 came from Vienna but unsure where it departed to, and the LCF to PAE. Is this one in normal service with EIA, just noticed it still using a BOE callsign?
