            Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 12-Jan-25.

First flown with the McDonnell Douglas test registration N9020Q, this aircraft was delivered to Garuda Indonesia Airways as PK-GIM in Nov-97.  It didn't stay long and returned to Boeing Capital in Jun-98 when it was stored at Marana, AZ, USA.

It was due to be leased to VASP Brasil in Sep-98 but the lease didn't happen.  It was leased to VARIG Airlines Brasil as PP-VQK in Nov-99.  VARIG ceased operations in Jul-06 and the aircraft was returned to Boeing Capital and stored at Rio de Janeiro-Galileo.

In Feb-07 it was leased to TAM Transportes Aereos Regionais as PT-MSI.  It was returned to Boeing Capital in Aug-08 and transferred to McDonnell Douglas Capital as N742BC later that month.

It was stored at Venice, Italy.  The aircraft was converted to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door by Dec-08 and was due to be leased to Aeroflot Cargo.  That wasn't taken up and instead it was leased to Ethiopian Airlines Cargo as ET-AML in Jan-09.

It was withdrawn from use and stored at Victorville, CA, USA in Aug-15 before being returned to the BCC Equipment Leasing Corporation (Boeing) as N546BC in Dec-15.  The aircraft remained stored at Victorville.  The registration was cancelled in Nov-16 and it was permanently retired.
