Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Evergreen converted and now fly the 744 Guppy for Boeing. What is going to happen to that contract?
The 747 Large Cargo Freighters (LCF), better know as 'Dreamlifters' were converted by an outfit in Taiwan working under Boeing direction and to Boeing developed drawings.
After STC, they were operated by Evergreen for a while but as WhaleDriver notes that contract was transferred to Atlas a while back (which now has a "Dreamliner Service Center" at Paine Field in Everett.
Del Smith threatened to sue Boeing for breach of contract when it happened, but I don't know if anything ever became of it.
BTW, I hope the museum in McMinnville survives OK
