LOL. It's becoming a habit. FedEx had a DC-10 flying around the counry for months in full United colors, sans titles. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0895290/L/

We still do. 2 DC10-30s we have been leasing them for some time (4plus yrs at least) from United. The deal wouldn't allow us to paint them.

They don't make money sitting in a paint booth.

Is that Duct-tape?

 

[urflyingme?!]

Saw a couple odd looking -10's at LAX two days ago too.... Parked at the FedEX hangar, or at least at a hangar located near about3 FEDEX aircraft...

That was good, but i tell you what, that looks MUCH better than a lot of the freight aircraft i have seen...not to mention flown.

Fyi

That is a Varig MD-11 that FedEx bought last year. They bought a few of them so the "duct tape" that you see in the pic is the newly installed cargo door after it had been converted to a freighter.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a revenue flight though. In the past, they'll use the airplane if they need the lift - painted purple or not.

Give Earl Scheib a call, he'll paint that sucker for $159.99.

We finally are getting rid of them (leases are up). Though they were the best flying DC-10s in the fleet from what most guys said.

I don't know...if they were cars and looked like that, they would be in someone's front yard with grass growing through the hood...

I have heard the nickname grey ghost. And I always thought they were POS's. A couple of years ago they flew mostly out of Indy...I think to keep the block hours low, since we pay per block hour.

Nothing that a little primer won't take care of

More likely they would be sitting in the Democrat lot with grass growing through the hood.
