Dog

Some of my favorite planes are airliners who've outlived their passenger carrying usefulness and been converted over to live out the rest of their flying days as hard working battered old "freight dogs."

Here are some shots of an old dog sleeping in the topical sun on the cargo ramp at Miami International Airport (KMIA). Her snazzy airline livery has long ago been reduced to plain Jane bare metal and she's surrounded by the ladders of the maintenance crew working hard to keep her tired engines and airframe flying for another day.

Nice old dog! Woof...woof! ;) No flight Sim installed until I get a new computer.

Thanks Mr. Z

BTW - after a frustrating solid 1 year of fighting continous FS2020 CTDs on my old laptop I just got a new computer. Can you tell? :D:D:D

nice shots, I like old and worn aircraft like this.

I painted this old dog a while ago:

Thanks Jan. Nice repaint on the TaL.

Doesn't look like that dog has a tail, number.

It's in small letters on the lower rear fuselage - N55CA

Yes, I see them.

And it's a great old dog as well! Reminds me of a couple of old R-4s that lived at KLOU for years whilst the NARCS hoped someone would show up and try to reclaim them.
