Default Heavy Lift In RSW

On the ground in RSW two Saturdays in a row I noticed three big freighters on the NW remote pad. Not the usual UPS/FredEx action (they are on the SW edge at Private Sky). There are two 744 pax conversion freighters, one all white, and one looks like Atlas w/o logo & nomenclature. Then there's a white MD-11. That's a lot of heavy lift for a place like this, especially without any industry I'm aware of that calls for big air freight. Nothing military nearby that comes to mind either. Anybody know what's up and who the operators are?

I think Western Global uses that area for storage of airframes. That company is based in Sarasota.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.

WG looks like a gem of a place to work.

They moved their corp hq to S. Ft Myers, thus the planes in RSW.
