With the withdrawal of seven FedEx MD-10s near the end of 2022, this magnificent machine became the last of its type in commercial service. Itself ex FedEx and converted from DC-10 to MD-10 status in 1994 by the installation of a glass cockpit, it joined TAB in 2013 and has since been a regular visitor on cargo services linking Santa Cruz, La Paz and Cochabamba with Miami, but normally only in the night hours. On this occasion luck was with the photographer when it arrived several hours late, the first time in daylight since November. How wrong does it look with the Boeing appellation!
