March 14, 201313 yr This was from a cargo flight tonight. Actually turned out to be pretty interesting. Immediately after take off the right main gear would not raise. All the others did. I lowered all the gear back down, then I had to fly off over the ocean, dump fuel, then return to Portland Intl and land. Fortunately no crash. This is the CLS 747-300, so not overly complex. AND
March 15, 201313 yr It's a nice shot, but unless I'm missing something, it looks more like a 747-200 than a 747-300. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.

Freighters dont have the long hump on the back.You're right in that freighters don't have the stretched upper deck, but it was the windows that led me to state that it was a 747-200. Also, there never existed a freighter version of the Boeing 747-300. Boeing website states there was the 747-300, -300SR, and -300M.
