while meandering thru EWR,this lovely frigid day, just heading back to DTW after a quick overnite, I glanced at the North Cargo area,and was glad to see that the Christmas rush was in fine fettle. A lovely green/blue ArrowAir DC-10,KHA727-200F,DC-8s in DHL yellow and old ABX grey, a slew of Kalitta 747s,100s and 200s, and a good old blue/white Champion 727-200 were parked there,giving an instant sense of 1970s deja vu. This disconnect was furthered around 11am, when in short succession, a KHA 727(BOS bound),and FedEx 727, and Kalitta 747 (200 SEA bound),and,and,UPS 747-200 (SDF)all departed 4L with copious gouts of smoke,and associated, anachronistic noise. A lovely sight, all that character,and color.Hopefully I will transit NYC/NJ again soon. Cheers gents. Merry Christmas !
