Another flight to Puerto Rico. This time it's FedEx 767 N253FE pulling out of Memphis for Aguadilla Rafael Hernandez Airport (BQN).
This trijet was delivered to SAS Scandinavian Airlines in January 1976 as LN-RKB. The McDonnell Douglas aircraft was involved in an incident at JFK on February 29, 1984, (Leap Day) when it overran the runway on landing. The nose of the aircraft found its way into Jamaica Bay. The aircraft was repaired and later purchased by Federal Express in December 1985 where it earned the nickname "The Salty Dog". It completed convertion to an MD10 in August 2002. The jet is seen here on the Memphis International south cargo ramp awaiting its non-rev flight to Victorville, California. N311FE made its last revenue flight for FedEx from Monterrey International Airport Mexico, to Memphis on December 31, 2022.
50 Years of FedEx and this was the fleet type that started it all. From Aviaition Week Network

"N9FE, one of FedEx's original Falcon 20s, is still "flying" inside FedEx's Greenway Aviation Training Center on the grounds of their Memphis World Hub sorting facility. Recent photos provided to Aviation Week show the aircraft still quietly but proudly on display, suspended from the ceiling along with a Falcon cockpit section underneath.
Aviation Week Intelligence Network's Fleet database shows that this aircraft, bearing serial no. 84, first flew on April 27, 1967, and was used by LTV Aerospace Corporation until being purchased by FedEx on March 6, 1972. Originally registered N1FE, it flew for FedEx from the beginning of its operations in 1973 until the type was withdrawn from service by early 1984, at which point it was placed in storage in Marana, Ariz. It was moved to Memphis in 1985 and re-registered N9FE before being restored by volunteer employees and put on permanent display.
While N1FE/N9FE is technically the first aircraft purchased by FedEx according to Aviation Week Intelligence Network's Fleet database, N8FE has the honor of being the first to be handed over to FedEx after freighter conversion and enter service. That aircraft is currently on public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, inside their Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington D.C.
The Falcon 20 was instrumental in getting FedEx through its formative years and was the only aircraft they operated until larger 727s began arriving in 1978. By 1985, after a fleet of 727s and DC-10s had been established, 30 of their Falcons had been sold to other operators while the remaining two were saved for preservation."
