BUF folk, was dropping off some relatives just before 5am this morning and while leaving, I went around the back end. Luckily I decided to pull in to where the Graybar building is just next to the Fedex depot and stumbled upon this beautiful A330. Reg is P4-MLO. Appears to be owned by Comlux Aruba,...
