PLEASE READ: It was an extremely windy day when I shot this footage,  which explains the more-than-usual bouncing around of the plane in the frame. We had straight-line winds gusting up to 50 mph that day, so I did the best I could to steady the image. I did you all a favor and only filmed this aircraft that day!

While Evergreen's livery is typically comprised of green stripes and lettering on a white backdrop, this aircraft, N491EV, a Boeing 747-412F/SCD, is strangely painted. That's because Evergreen leased it to Saudi Arabian Airlines Cargo from 03/29/2011 until 01/05/2013, hence the light brown overall paint color. Painted like this, this aircraft is considered a gem as it's wearing partial liveries for two airlines: notice it does have an American tail registration and also an American flag just below and aft of the cockpit, as all Evergreen International 747's do.

This arrived to O'Hare International Airport ( KORD / ORD ) as EIA Flight 878 from Shanghai Pudong Int'l ( ZSPD / PVG ) via Ted Stevens Int'l Airport ( PANC / ANC ) in Alaska where she was refueled for the 2nd half of the trip to Chicago.
