To be clear, at one time, Oak Hill (former Southern Air parent company) had options for ten B777 Freighters through its aircraft leasing company. Southern got four to operate for Thai Airways. Oak Hill sold off the remaining six options for cash, years ago.

Atlas likes to use its training department to spread disinformation. The latest bogus rumor is that we will get seven B777Fs to operate for DoD under CRAF. Unfortunately, this is totally untrue, since the B777F is completely incompatible with military pallets and loaders. A Boeing engineer in Renton, Washington told me that the design was intentional. They never stop.
