I took a trip to JFK Airport on saturday evening on Jan 13, 2007 and i noticed seeing an Airborne Express sitting on the ramp by cargo building 263 where DHL is located. I usually see a DHL DC-8-71 or 73 there. is this a change of aircraft again i mean i havent seen a DC-8-63 at JFK in a couple of years. Is this a change from DC-8-70 to 60?

Yeah, been there a bit recently.

They are owned by DHL, so it's just a random thing of whatever aircraft ends up flying the route, right?

I have noticed a few DC-8's lately the oldies and the newbies (CFM) powered ones. DHL, ABX, and UPS have all had some going in and out recently. Last time I was out that way there was even a daylight ops of a DC8 she was way too high though for anyone to shoot.
