Federal Express (FedEx) - McDonnell Douglas MD-11F - N610FE (c/n 48603/551) - Marissa
N610FE was delivered new to Federal Express on August 25, 1993. Formerly known as "Marissa," the spelling of her name was changed to "Marisa" in 2017.
Note the seemingly incongruous bump scabbed on to the port side of this MD-11's radome. That is where the infrared camera for the aircraft's Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) is housed. Images from that IR camera are projected through the cockpit Heads-Up Display (HUD) enabling pilots to land in otherwise below normal minimums in zero visibility conditions during the day and night, thus enhancing FedEx's ability to arrive and deliver its packages on-time.
