Tanker 979 was based on a 747-100 originally manufactured by Boeing in 1971 for Delta Air Lines. It entered service for the first time in 2009, fighting a fire in Cuenca, Spain, and made its first American operation on August 31, 2009 at the Oak Glen Fire in California. When Evergreen went bankrupt in 2013 it was sitting at Marana to be scrapped in 2017, only after several key components were removed and installed in N744ST This photo is copyright © Lieuwe Hofstra, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
