Having been recently converted to a freighter, this Fed Ex MD-11(F) was pressed into early service for the 2002 Holiday Season before receiving its paint scheme. The photo clearly shows the new cargo door that was installed and the colors of its former operator American Airlines. If you look closely at the forward fuselage just below the cockpit you can still see the MD-11 Luxury Liner titles.
