They must do some military charter work. That aircraft was on static display at the McGuire open house a few years back.

That is a regularly scheduled flight I do believe. It operates KWRI-KBWI-LPLA (Lajes Azores)-KBWI-KWRI.

I know this because I have tried to catch it many a time and never made the drive up to Baltimore, sadly

Yeah It's ATI 720 or something like that and it took me 2yrs to finally catch it hahaha, But they only have one 62 series combine and it's usually a Stretch 8 that does the job.

Actually it's not as rare as I thought it was, Just looked at flightaware and it shows that its been operating with the 62 for quite sometime now, I usually only go out that way during the fall and last year it was one of the DC-8-73s making the run. Anyway, here is the tracker for it on flightaware. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ATN720

Nice job with the -62! As Moose mentioned they had a Seventy series on static @ McGuire and we were able to see the inside:

Wow do they still fly the 70 series combi?

The cool thing about those combi's is that the pax are in the BACK, separated from the flight deck but cargo.

Nice catch!

I got to see her in MIA a couple weeks ago (sadly I was on a bus and caught some window reflection under the wing).

Nice! That has to be the 70 series combi because it has CFM-56s and not JT8Ds. :wink:

i saw that Combi depart Bahrain a few months back,a thing of beauty.
