Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive

Fedex flew over while I was photographing the moon so I got it too. From what I can tell after some research it's an Airbus A310-200. When I was a young kid in the early to mid 70s I used to watch high flying planes pass over. I had a pair of 7X50 and 8X42 binoculars and a book, The Observer's Book of Aircraft, a friend of my older brother gave me. The book was copyrighted and printed in 1967. I still have too. I'll post a few pics of it sometime. Back then most of what I seen flying was noisy compared to today. Lots of DC-9s, 727s, 707s, DC-8s. Didn't see too many 747s or DC-10s and L1011s. I think all the domestic US based carriers flew US made planes back then. Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed.... They pretty much had the market cornered back then.
As for living a few miles away from Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport, most of what went in and out of there was DC-9s, 727s, 737s and DC-7s. Yes, old piston engine prop planes. And the KC-97s from the airbase. Once in awhile fighter jets and bigger planes but not too often.

Well enough reminiscing... Enjoy the photo. Only cropped not resized. :-)

First flown in Feb-85 with the Airbus test registration F-WZEK, this aircraft was originally built as an A310-221 and ordered by VASP Brasil, however the order was cancelled.
It was delivered to Pan Am, Pan American World Airways as N803PA in May-85. It was sold to a lessor in Oct-85 and leased back to Pan Am. The aircraft was converted to A310-222 standard in May-86.
Pan Am was having financial problems by the early 1990's and in Nov-91 some Pan Am routes and aircraft, including this one, were transferred to Delta Air Lines. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Oct-93 and stored at Atlanta, GA, USA.
In Jul-95, after almost two years in storage, the aircraft was sold to FedEx Federal Express. It was re-registered N418FE in Aug-95 and was converted to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door in Nov-95.
The aircraft was in service with FedEx for 17 years before being permanently retired at Victorville, CA, USA in Jun-12. The registration was cancelled in Feb-16.
