BN Air Freight

Posted by Ted Marshall on Sunday, July 6, 2008 1:55 PM

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.

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.

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).
