The Dreamlifter




During my time in Anchorage on this year's Alaska tour, I've had the opportunity to see some pretty cool aircraft. There has been the F-22 squadron flying around just north of town as well as a flight of F/A-18E Super Hornets one day. The other night I noticed that there was a large cargo plane parked at the east end of the airport (the end near our hotel). To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the Boeing 747 LCF, modified 747-400s expanded to be able to carry components of the new 787 Dreamliners. This one was the first to be built, N747BC.
