Photographed shortly after an early morning arrival at AMS, this aircraft was then in the twilight of its long life. This early-build 747-100 was first delivered to United Airlines in 1970 as N4703U, and it later flew with Pan Am as a passenger aircraft. It served as a cargo hauler for Polar Air Cargo as N853FT before joining the Kalitta fleet in 2004. It was stored in 2008 and later broken up.
