UPS Retire MD-11s

[Malko]

You know those online guys who do the keychains made of aircraft skin will descend upon these MDs like vultures in order to get their pound of flesh.

Same but different I’ve got a dog tag made from the brass work (once they decommed her) of the carrier i was stationed on.

HTs on the ship are the underrated guys. Chief would take a couple of spent 5-inch shell casings after a gunex to the machine shop and a few days later come back with engraved polished beer steins. Or coffee mugs. Or ash trays.

If I remember, and I can find it, I'll shoot a pic of a medallion UPS made of the first 727 they parked and melted down. They gave them to the UPS pilots on the list at that time.

There's one brown MD in Toronto that has looked sad for months now. I hope it gets to come home to America
