Flights to and from Japan

I have noticed that the Dreamlifters can fly from the west coast of the USA to Japan without stopping in Anchorage. Obviously 'empty'.


Coming back from Japan, they land at Anchorage for a tech stop.


Are they so heavy with cargo out of Japan that they are fuel limited or is there another reason they stop in Anchorage?
