Last minute Christmas Rush with IFL Cargo B722 flying for UPS

I have been trying to get the ILF B722 for about a year since I saw John Musolino's shot from CLT from 2013. I had just missed the EWR arrival at the time and since then it never came back (Of course). If I am correct getting a shot of the TSU 727 with IFL markings tied up any remaining US Airlines (Cargo or PAX) that fly 727s on the Mainland US. The remaining ones on around on the Mainland are just Obscure Corporate 727 that are drifting about. I made an extra effort to get as many shots as I could and managed to pull off some video. Technically I do have a "Transauto" 727-100 from several years back but ti was before they airline applied the (IFL) titles to their aircraft other than the CVLTs.

I didn't get a shot, but there was an IFL Convair at CLT last week.

Thanks, I'm glad to finally get it. Its not much to look at but its something new. On to the next :) Senga

Something to look for in the future - IFL will be receiving the first CRJ200 freighter conversion...

Very interesting. I am sure these will kill a lot of the classics we see flying around for Carriers like Ameristar, Kalitta charters and IFL etc.

The CRJ will impact the Convairs more than the DC9/727 demographic.

Yea those are the ones I was referring to and concerned about- (Generally speak all those type of airlines)
Shorts 7, 330s 360s DC3 etc. I do enjoy seeing those older Falcons and Lears flying around as well. So many of the Dc-3s, Convairs beech's etc are gone now. A few from Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Louisville and Chicago.
I think you can appreciate these some of these :)

Love the Hogan 3, and I have a picture of that C46 next to an IFL 3 at YIP, the C46 with the red and white spinners, LRD based, ahhh memories : )

Glad to see my feelings were spot on :) Midwestern Aviation photography ti was easy to find old props of all types.

She's a beauty Senga, glad you were able to catch her! IFL is based at the airport I used to do my flight training at, and it was always a treat to see one of the 727s taxiing out and taking off on another charter when we were outside or in the pattern.

My buddy Dick Zerbe used to run that Carvair, unique to say the least.
