Could this be true?
Here's why FedEx is doing so well. What you see in this photo is a FedEx MD-10 taxiing away from the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy. It was rumored that the MD-10 had just brought the JFK in from somewhere in the middle east. I'm a little skeptical of this story, but stranger things have happened.

LOL.
The Kennedy was in Boston weekend before last, and it was open for public tours. They held a citizenship ceremony aboard at some point during the weekend.
I wish I had known about the tours before the layover rather than during preparation for the return trip. Later reports said the lines to tour the carrier were 3 hours long, so maybe it was best I got my sleep anyway.
[EDIT: P.S. That's a DC-10.

The MD-10 doesn't go to Boston.
(Also ... the letters "MD-10" would be painted on the nose, the VHF antenna (shark fin) would be over the wing root instead of over the cargo door, and the outflow valve would be a single door like the MD-11 versus a 3-piece combination of doors and a flap.)
