791 is supposed to come to us (ATI). No word on a specific job yet, but we are supposed to resume our beloved garden spot island destination off the coast of Florida, so I'd guess (hope) it'll pick up on that run.
Still not convinced that the shot of 556CM isn't shopped. Last I saw that aircraft, it was in primer/bare metal down in FL and I don't know that it's ever flown anywhere to be painted, unless they have a paint shop there. I could be wrong of course, but to me, the picture just looks like it's been altered (nice job of it, though, if it isn't real!). Since 151 was renumbered as 752CX, I wonder if the other three will fall in line?
Good news is that 761 has come out of heavy check with new wing mounts and still wearing that beautiful blue suit. AND, she's on the charter as scheduled.

791AX
It appears 791AX is going to CVG and fly DHL as 761CX and 762CX are spoken for over the next few weeks as b707guy pointed out. It appears the only aircraft not flying will be 557CM. It has to get up soon though, ABX is still flying two of the Capital routes.
556CM
Photo is not shopped....Not sure on the new registration though. Might not since that one is going to be the odd ball (IAI conversion, PW engines, and winglets). Plus it already has a CAM issued registration.
There is a paint shop in VQQ too.
