All our 757's will be of the standard half-glass configuration when we get them. Plenty of differnces between each plane since FedEx has acquired no large group of aircraft and Boeing offers so many customer selectable options. The fix would be an updated glass cockpit that some have mentioned on this website. We should know the company's decision soon. I believe 4 request for proposals went out and not sure how many responded. I have seen 3 of the 4 company's products and all are awesome AMLCD's which replace the hotter and more power consuming baseline CRT's. Each company can tailor the symbology to match FedEx commonality goals so the MD-11/777/757 should all pretty much be the same if FedEx decides to standardize our 757's. Hope that shed a little light? |
Hey, looked for the 757 last night, worked the East ramp, checked Hangers 11/12, I saw no 757, did see a Sudan Air Big Bus though, looked like patch work as they had installed the main cargo door. It will be good to see a 757 in purple . . .

Speaking of Sudan Air, Hangars 11 & 12, etc., etc. . . .
What was with that NOTAM the other day about "Aircraft demolition" in spots H011 and H012? Were they blowing up the MD-10, or what? That thing looks like something we'd see in the desert. Rudders gone, engines gone, air conditioning packs gone . . . Are they going to set it on fire and let the fire department try again? . |
Yep, they finally pulled the white tent off the jet and called in CTU and Jack Bauer to blow the thing up.

Wow, Talk about things we shouldn't write/say in a public forum... I hope the bad guys don't read this and somehow find Jack or it WILL be on your head... Now back to the regular scheduled programming. CTU out.. |
Hope there's not a CTU perimeter there...or the MD10 might just sneak away...

Talked to a avionics buddy of mine, he said that they had temp. bid for fdx mechanics to dis-assemble the A/C right where it sat. It is my understanding that they will remove parts that are good and can be re-used, i.e. cockpit windows, main cargo door, floor locks, etc. . . and scrap the rest.

I was out looking at the airplane yesterday. It looked like a Cadillac that had been left unattended too long in the wrong part of Memphis.

How long is too long to leave a vehicle unattended in Melvis?:D Beertini |
