N749WA ¦ ZRH 03.02.1985

            Boeing B.747-273C (c/n 20653/237)
Flying Tigers
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
03 February 1985

Built in 1974 for World Airways, this 747-200 convertible saw quite a few leases, including Viasa Venezuela from 1981 to 1983, and Flying Tigers from 1984 to 1987.

Registered as N749WA, it was seen amidst turnaround on a nightly cargo service with Flying Tigers, still sporting basic Viasa colours. Also note the custom stairs specially designed for freighter 747s and serving both, the main deck 1L and the upper deck doors, so any crew member could exit the aircraft without having to crawl through the cargo deck.

By 1989 N749WA had become N470EV and part of the Evergreen International fleet, and was eventually withdrawn from use in 2012 at Marana-Pinal Airpark, and scrapped there during 2014.
