Editor’s “To The Point” Observation: FedEx currently operates 67 Boeing 757-200 converted freighters. The first (the pictured N901FD) was added to the cargo fleet on May 9, 2008. The newer 757s have been replacing the older Boeing 727s. FedEx has 30 727-200Fs still in service so it is likely it will take the full option.
