New pics of FedEx 757 freighter conversions

Bloggin' to you from the road on this one. These are brand new pictures of the first of FedEx's acquired 757s being converted to freighters. You can see the one is a former US Airways bird. The first of these new guys should be in service by June or July flying between Memphis, Indianapolis, and Dulles. By 2012, FedEx intends on having 87 in the fleet. Hopefully they'll be able to retire some of their gas guzzling 727s at that point. I bet these will look sweet in the FedEx colors.
