QuickCheck: Is one of Boeing's Dreamlifter freighters a converted Malaysia Airlines 747?

This is in fact true, as one of the four Dreamlifters operated by Atlas Air for Boeing began life as a 747-400 airliner with MAS on Aug 27, 1992.

It flew under the Malaysian registration of 9M-MPA, carrying passengers until it was stored at Subang Airport in July 2006. The aircraft then came under the ownership of Boeing on Sept 1, 2007 and was subsequently converted from a passenger-carrying airliner into a Dreamlifter freighter by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corp or EGAT, a joint venture of EVA Air and General Electric and a part of Taiwan's Evergreen Group.

It now flies under the US registration of N718BA, carrying parts used in the construction of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
