Evergreen International 747-273C - N470EV


Parked on the Hazardous Cargo Pad today was Evergreen's N470EV. This aircraft was modified by Evergreen into the experimental Supertanker to fight wildfires. However, they never received certification to actually use the aircraft to fight wildfires and reconverted back into a normal freight. Evergreen did leave the red tail with the number 947 instead of repainting it back into the normal Evergreen colors.

SuperTanker programme is very much in progress, they are using different aircraft for certification now.
