Thanks John. The facility at FLL is still there and when I go by there on occasion I see BAX Global DC-8s. I just wasn't sure if what I thought I remembered seeing fifteen plus years ago was correct (BN).

Yes, it was Burlington Air Express at the time, it eventually became BAX Global, a logistics company. It was bought by Schenker Logistics company last year. Schenker is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway.

Back in the early 90s I recall seeing cargo-converted DC-8s at Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl. Airport (FLL) regularly. If I recall correctly they had the BN herald on their vertical stabilizers. Can anyone here confirm my sightings?

Thanks in advance.
