N355mc
Does anybody have any info on this aircraft? I see on Speednews it's listed for sale. However it seems each 747 ACMI company says they bought it. I heard a rumor Tradewinds bought it then I heard Focus is getting it.

Atlas is getting out of the Classic business. The economics of the -200s are rapidly approaching the edge. Atlas probably wants to get some money for the ones they own before they become beercans.

Focus has N354MC not N355MC
FR8Dog,
I think you're wrong my friend, see the Airliners.net link below. I can email you a picture of N354MC that Focus is operating, I took the picture myself in MIA. N355MC was returned to Atlas after AAWW decided to retire Polar's classic freighter fleet , and the aircraft is now for sale. I actually saw N355MC sitting in HSV a little over a month ago, undergoing maintenance.

Your right and wrong. 354 belongs to Focus, has been flying SHZ - LUX for a year now for China Eastern. I don't think it has ever been to Miami under Focus colors. Every scumbag wants 355, but Atlas wants too much money for it. Rumour is tradewinds got it with their insurance money they got from the last 747 they trashed.... A damn shame.

Not exactly sure why I am bothering to post again, (must be bored) I saw N355MC @ MIA last week freshly painted in Focus colors. Not sure what else to tell all you experts other that N# databases and Airliners.net do not update daily. Seeing that I used to fly the A/C I think I should be able to tell. Ciao

Also Dutch 74, 354MC is in MIA all the time in Focus colors as well.Another expert on the web after a busy day at the hospital doing brain surgery.

Listen FR8, I don't know what you're smoking but we haven't used 354 in MIA at all for months and have no intent to fly it there for the moment.

Thats all I'm going to say about it. I feel like I'm arguing with a spoiled child.

been in MIA for months in FOCUS COLORS. Dutch is correct, it's been flying on a Europe-Asia contract. Check your facts (or eyesight) before you mouth off absurdities.
