747 400f 15 years of service
cargolux first b747 400f lxfcv entered service 15 years ago today- apparently to date has logged 79000 hours and some 13000 plus cycles
not many 200f have achieved that in their life times
and the aircraft will soon be sold on...

Good old Fox,
still adore her and her sisters over the newer ones with the wrong engines although she turned into a noisy bitch over the years.
Sold to UPS I guess she has a lot of years to come on her frame and deserves it.
Good luck to you old girl, hope to have a cpouple of hot and high take offs on you before you finallly leave.

I remember the day it touched down... Also remember loading one of its first (if not the first) flights LUX-Hawaii (Not HNL) with the two yachts for that Waterworld film. November -10c early in the morning. That aircraft was full, not an inch of space left; 14T was the payload. One yacht was blown up in the movie, the other sold...
Also remember GCV, think it was Dec same year, MTOW LUX-HKG, reject at V1 due all tv screens went dead. 16 flat tyres (tires
) Aircraft had been loaded while snowing, snow not removed from pallets. Boeing had not sealed the floor, so when it melted the water poured into lower 41. I had just gotten to work that day and had to figure out how to offload it without tipping it....
