If it helps I have found 5 B.747-236 freighters still extant.
c/n 22304 as TF-AAB
c/n 22442 as TF-AAA
c/n23711 as TF-ATX (as nominated above)
All 3 are apparently active, plus 2 in store
c/n 23735 as TF-ARJ
c/n 24088 as TF-ATZ
Not sure where they are stored though.
Hope it helps
Be lucky

Perhaps TF-AAA? It's a very frequent visitor in LUX.

AAA is just getting towards the end of it's C-check and will be back in LUX operating for cargolux next week. ATX is also operating out of LUX but not for CLX...

RR Powered B747 Freighters
Just to be even more pedantic, do you mean all B747 RR powered freighters are conversions? Cause if you do it is not so. The three CX RB 211-524 powered B747-200F's during my time there were all freighters from the factory.

RR Powered B747-200F Freighters
Maindog most certainly was the three. VR-HVY came to CX from BA and HVX & HVZ came direct from Boeing as I recall. Don't know about you, but the Freighter ops were always best. The "Humane Killer" could be used on unruly live freight if required. Thanks CR2, no problems.

Old Cessna,
Which one?
I have never seen a conversion that can carry more than 110T. 108-ish is the norm.
This does not include the 5 or so 200C's that were built (convertible from cargo to pax, nose-door, extended zfw... 118.5T depending on OEW (or DOW if you prefer)).
Always happy to learn tho'

TF-ATZ had total load of 107149 kg some years back. I was cleaning my flightbag and there was an OFP there from March 2006. Interesting what kind of garbage one carries in those bags. One would think that ATX was very similar.
