ABX along with the electronics company hold the STC for a flat panel mod for 767-757's we are converting our new 767's to the flat panel.

Looks great!:D

It's a fake. The first 75 is N901FD. BTW - According to MX, it's got Rolls engines.

FYI, there were a bunch of Boeing-Seattle guys/gals in MEM a couple of weeks ago and they were showing their avionics options to the AOD powers that be....


I could careless about the avionics and cockpit set up, I just care about the jumpseats - more is better, most is best!:p

The serial number matches up with the MX document I saw. Being reregistered as N901FD.

Seen anything???


757 setup from Boeing...UNMODIFIED FROM THE FACTORY...what you would expect to see if you walked onto any 757 out there...This picture right here below this caption...(REV 1 for FDX Boner Guy)

Rumor around the Smith Estate is that he's trying to cut a deal with Boeing and the FAA to make the 777 and 757 a common type rating:( ,....It's a pretty solid rumor. I just started it:)

I'm still waiting for that twin engine single prop baby goose FedEx was so proud of about 10 yrs ago!
