Hi All,

Finally got good shot of FedEx 757 at IAD. Besides this gem the day was pretty boring.
Few shots from today.

It's difficult for me to realize that the FedEx 757 is a new aircraft. It just seems to natural to me for some reason.

What's the name of that British bird again?

Good catches, thanks for sharing.

Phil,

Which British bird? Are you talking about German AF C-160 Transall? :)

Yes, Fedex 757s are new. Right now they have only 2 in service. One is doing MEM-DCA-IAD-DCA-MEM and second one is doing MEM-IND-MEM.

I hope they bring some 757s up to NY sometime.

EWR will see them as they will replace the 727s

I also got the Trans States ERJ-145 N829HK but I posted picture of it yesterday so I didn't bother today :)
