Passing the time I rode past the airport and saw a lone B757F for FX. I'm trying to figure what route they would use it on. Perhaps ANC-SEA or ANC-HNL? Last week same day (Sunday) I saw 5 FX T7's parked at the ramp. Maybe somebody can shed some light on the subject.

That should be N957FD on its way to its new home.

I wonder what happened to Fed Ex bypassing ANC with the 777? Wasn't that the point of purchasing them?

FX still has a sizable fleet of MD-11s that can't make the trip from China to their midwest hubs without a refueling stop in ANC.

ANC is a big transload point for FX. It's staffed like a hub even though the market doesn't generate more than the normal amount of freight. So yeah even though the 777 can bypass it, doesn't mean it always will.
