FedEx To Retire Its Remaining MD-10s By 2023
Global freight business FedEx appears set to retire its remaining Boeing MD-10s by 2023. FedEx currently flies a fleet of 17 MD-10s. But buried in FedEx’s second-quarter report for the 2021 fiscal year is the news FedEx will be phasing the planes out over the next couple of years. (simpleflying.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Your plane?
you mean long live the tri jet
How about buying one of the shells and turning it into a house.
There are already several (already retired) out on the California high-desert. Make a bid.
A few interesting things I view: 1) The number of feeder (i.e. turbo prop - ATR72 & Cessna C408) aircraft being added vs. Trunk (Jet - 767F & 777F) being a 80 vs. 31 (net add) 2) Cargo capacity (in lbs) being 828k vs. 4,315k 3) No decision on what / how to deal with the 757. The chart clearly shows how the 757 really fill a spot no other aircraft (i.e. A310 being closest match in weight difference) really would fit. Wonder if they will fly 2 or 3 ATR72s to fill the void as needed; do think they could handle some of the routes, but not the long distance flights and better (my view) a fuller aircraft vs. less full. Anyone have numbers on the A320F (conversions or dedicate) capacity? An A220-500F version maybe?
How about a timeshare in Marana, AZ boneyard. Just kidding.
Long live the DC-10.
