I second what Sir Mel Says......

Fedex. is a leading example.

Also, i feel the Antonov and Ilyushins should not be left out.....After all the latter carried our LCJ and ALH to Europe after all

But i dont think any cargo operator except Russian and those ex-USSR countries carriers use the ILs and ANs

747 is used more than that

The AN124 is a fantastic Cargo Aircraft but for the Fuel Guzzlers.

theres nothing like the Russian behemoths we see at BOM ... and quite often too... if you have outsized cargo.... apart from them... the world over... the majority of world cargo is transported by 747s... the estimated majority to the extent of 60% i think if i remember correctly.... of world frieght by air is on the backbone of 747....many classics... and recently... sad to see but... 744s as well

Nothing beats watching Huge Freighters parked adjacent & being loaded with Cargo.

Amazing How the Main deck Load for the B737 Freighter is like the Bulk cargo load on the B747 Freighter.Size wise.

My vote goes to the MD-11. After PAX conversions to freighters are included it must highly rank as having the most -Fs operating as a percentage of the total amount of production frames built.
