Starting out with Flying Tigers as N782FT in 9.68, this freighter went to Cargolux in 10.75 as LX-BCV. Seen here on Air India's DEL-JFK freight run via LHR after re-registration. Evergreen took her as N815EV in 7.84 and ten years later she passed to UPS, the EV suffix changing to UP. However she soon passed on to DHL as N806DH was flown in their bright yellow scheme by Astar till stored at Kingman, AZ from 5.12
