This old 741 was originally delivered to United in August 1970 as N4712U. It then went to Pan Am and flew with them as as 'Clipper Tradewind' until December 1991. Periods with Aeroposta and Kabo Air followed until freighter conversion and delivery to Southern Air Transport in March 1994. The plane was finally re-registered in March 1995 when it went to Polar Air Cargo as N852FT. It was withdrawn from the fleet in March 2002 and used as a training aid/film prop before the Scottish weather rendered it unsafe and scrappage followed in September 2017.
