As a Captain flying these freighters around europe and previously passenger aircraft, I have to say im going to miss her.
Does ANYBODY really know when EAT/Air Contractors/Starair/Swift Air are going to retire these aircraft? I dont mention UPS as they have the -217 engines, which will see into 2010.
A few pics.

Also European Governments MUST WAKE UP in this economic climate and keep these aircraft operating without restrictions as they cost nothing, are strong, and graceful aircraft
Vive La sept deux sept!
