This is an old Flying Tigers machine, first delivered as N808FT in July 1980 and then with Federal Express as N632FE after the merger. It went on to fly with Singapore Airlines (9V-SQV) and Korean Air (HL7401) before joining Northwest for the first time as N9401 in August 1987. A short spell with Southern Air Transport followed as N744SJ. It rejoined Northwest in May 1999 with this reg and flew until retirement from the fleet in December 1009. The frame was then ferried to Walnut Ridge (ARG), AR and scrapping had begun by Mach 2012.

A Northwest 747-200 classic departs Anchorage with a typical very long run, great to see this one in what will be the last year the Airline would be operating these old freighters before they were retired.

Formerly in the "Pacific Trader" special colour scheme this Classic 747-200 was painted into full Northwest colours and is seen here after landing on Runway 07R at Anchorage.
