For the historians, did UPS have their 757s before DHL. Are there any other 757 F operators besides these two (and soon-FDX) ?

Thanks, I still don't think UPS will be on the forefront of the 747 "ocho" scene. I think they will chomp on the leftovers as carriers unload their -400s to get the ocho.

See ya at the "Finger". I'm easy to spot, I sing Kareoke during the non-kareoke nights.

ps. Cargolux is the launch customer for the -800...and I have never seen a Columbian in Wan Chai or Long Fung Dung or Fing Fang Fung or anywhere else over here :D:D:D

TB;)

For what it's worth, Leadpipes told me they are WAY too expensive, so you may be on to something! My bet is they'll grab up beat up pax birds and convert them and then complain about reliability.

Watch out for zee Germans Tommy!:D

In all seriousness though, pretty good gouge on this one.
If they deny it then it must be true!

They would be the blondes that speak Spanish instead of Russian and are not so pale.

Is that awesome filipino band still at the Finger? Hot lead, Stevie Ray Vaughn guitarist? Loved that place. Hope I get "the call" and a job. If I do, first rounds on me!
Cheers,

Actually, we're the U.S. launch customer, I believe Cargolux and ANA were the original launch customer for the -8s

Wasn't Challenge Air Cargo the launch customer for the 757 freighter?, UPS got those aircraft added to their fleet after the purchase of Challenge at MIA
