31 year old Fed Ex plane looks to be mothballed for parts. Killing time while a group member changes a flat, I rode over to a little used part of the airport we ride from and snapped this. I was curious if searching on the plane number would pull up info and it does....
....history, once a passenger plane built in France
....in better days

reason I’m curious ...
years ago we had a network of off road motorcycle trails near airport property - including trails that went through large tunnels under the runways
one time we stopped near the end of one runway to take a break - and security arrived

are you relatively close to the runways - and if so does airport security have issue with this ?

Rode the mtb through Snoqualmie Pass in WA on a rail/trail conversion. 45 miles and 2400’ on a fat tire MTB was taxing. Tunnel is over a mile - completely black, so headlight and jacket for drips required.

Newbie
I was on a section of the Great Allegheny Passage trail a couple of weeks ago. It's the first time I've seen that.
