    N704A destroyed. :{

    You guys at FRG remember those two express.net horse carriers. Well looks like both are gone as an anetter spotted what is left of N704A sitting in a junkyard in Kingman.

    I had a great day at IGM but it sure was depressing to see those two tristars and the 72s gone.

    That was about the only all-cargo jet flying to Miami Opa-Locka for a time. Shame they never applied any livery to it.

    727s are getting chopped everywhere all the time, Express.net has been out of biz for years, this is an old -100. What's so special/surprising?

    I have spent many nights on the ramp with this aircraft and it holds a special place in my heart.

    Here is a shot I took of it with some horses being loaded into it

    My first camera was not a DSLR, it was similar to what Kenny is now using

    I love this shot

    I was next to the runway when her tire blew....And you thought a 727 was loud!

    Here is a shot of me with her...

    Was there any horses on it when it crashed?

    It did not crash, it was broken up

    Oh, I must have misread the thread.

    Also that's a very good night shot considering you were using a camera similar to mine.

    Well that airframe spent a lot of time at FRG and many of us up here in NY used to see her.

    Back to the topic, I saw those horse planes only once, but I know how great it was for the FRG folks. Aren't the Belmont Stakes this weekend?
