National Air Cargo .. Three letter NCR.
They operate a handful of both the B757 and B747.
I've seen their B757 at YHZ & YQX on tech stops doing troop flights for the USAF.

Re: Southern Air Cargo to use Prince George

So almost two months since the freebie B747 flight landed at CYXS, how many since?
They are still dropping into Anchorage multiple times per day for fuel, so the traffic is there.
In reality Southern Air, nor any other Trans Pacific heavy carrier is interested in Prince George.

LOL... probably a typo but made ya look!
Have you not ever heard of ACMI. This flight is operated by Omni Air Intl DC-10. Sunwing may have a couple aircraft down for mntc, these things happen all the time.
