Default Let's not forget.....

It is unbelievable but "Zebrakeesha" is on a A-310. Only in Memphis will you find a young girl named Zebrakeesha.

YGBSM! No way, Jose. Please take a photo and post it as your new profile photo, just for a day or two, and just so the rest of the guys on this site will believe you. I've seen some strange sh#t down there in the Mecca-Red-Necka, but never a name even close to that one.

I took a few photos and he now has it hanging on the wall in his office. It wasn't named for him, but was cool nonetheless. However, I don't remember seeing "Redeye" on any of the planes, but it could happen.
Thet would have to name it after my daughter..........PINKEYE

Default Name search...

I have not been able to find any "master" list of the aircraft names at FedEx. But...if you go to Airliners.net and search the photo data base you can search FedEx and look for any aircraft and enter a name and see if anyone has taken a picture of the plane with that name...

I just did a search and found 3 pictures with my sons name, then searched the N# and found 7 more...

Could I ask my FedEx friends to look at the name of their plane the next time they go to work? Take a quickie picture and post it here, particularly if the name is unusual. Definitely take one if you see "Pinkeye."

I wanted to submit the name "Latrina". My wife wouldn't let me. I wanted to submit "Shalabia Sucretia",...again my wife wouldn't let me. I give up

P.S. I did fly a 727 named "Two Bears", no kiddin'.

It's true I flew it several weeks ago, but my memory is that the name was Zebradebra.

Ok, it looks like my gentle request for pictures fell on deaf ears. I am now offering MONEY for a picture of a plane with an interesting name.
