The LH DC 10 would have been my 2nd choice, but for gods sake at least LH Cargo is flying its successor for some time so we will still have the chance to see a mighty trijet wearing LH´s color scheme.

The 747 Classics at UPS. Right now UPS is eager to replace them with MD-11s and A380s

I really wish I could have preserved N691UP. At the time of her retirement she was the oldest 747 in service.(line #7)
