    I wonder what they did to this aircraft.
    New Paint?
    Re-engined?
    New Interior?
    Sold?

    If they are up and about doing test flights it is probably a prooving run of some sort to test out somthing or maybe they stuffed the engine re fit deal on it that UPS's 100's have

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Im thinking in addition to whatever else it might be getting is some unseen avionics upgrades to allow it to be RVSM capable. All previoous flights were conducted below FL290 where RVSM is not required. It would be nice to see some JT9D-217's or 219's on this bird , it's climb peformance at heavy weights appears lacking ... but then again it's a 3 holer

    if i had internet at work i'd have been able to see this thread. as far as i know she didn't land while i was in the tower. had the door open most of the night, definately didn't hear it. if it snuck past me, i'd be surprised.
