FedEX at TLH

[PhatAJ2008]

There are two Boeing 727's at TLH, but it appears they only use one. Anyone know why?
Also- they just built a new cargo ramp over on the east side of the airport. Anyone know when they are movie over?
Thanks

The movie does not end until 10:20 PM.

Typically when you see two 727's there was an extra section added for more boxes or one of them had a mechanical.

I used to love hearing that roar around 1115 each night when they launched. The flight numbers are still the same.. FDX1278 outbound and 1478 inbound.

If there was a second airplane, it would usually launch in the morning around 9 or 10am or hang out all day.

I worked as a CFI/pilot for Flightline from 2001-2003... how are things down there these days?

 

[PhatAJ2008]

YES! Every night at 11:15 it flies over like clockwork. Flightline is renevating the old airport and putting some sort of resort with a hotel and all over there... Pretty cool.

Spare aircraft are left around the system rather than park all at MEM. That aircraft you see is a spare.

During peak sometimes 2 jets go in and out of TLH, but most of the time it is just the flight numbers already mentioned.

 

[PhatAJ2008]

That makes sense, Albie. Thanks

Speaking of TLH, I use to work as an instructor for the FSU Aviation Club. Do you know if it still is in operation? Is Aero Aviation, with Rich, still a maint. facility around the old terminal? Good times, good times.....

 

[PhatAJ2008]

I am the current President of the FSU Flying Club.

Rich is still around Aero. I got my PPL there. He is actually starting an FBO to compete with Flightline.

I too used to hang around the Flying Club, and the Sailing Club back in the day, but sadly that was a LONG time ago....

Rich came out around 12am for me one night to put a new gasket on my prop governor. Nice guy.
