It 'appears' the legendary ex QF 744 VH-OEJ will now fly again as a freighter with Kalitta Air as N784CK.

It was originally registered to Kalitta as N329ZA to be used as spares, but it has now been given fleet number 784 and due to enter the Kalitta active fleet according to planespotters.net

I doubt that. The aircraft has been gutted to the bone.

If true, that would make it the world's only converted 747-400ER to freighter!
