* Goodyear update from Mike & Steve (http://www.visitingphx.com)
World MD-11 N803DE was on the TIMCO ramp after arriving earlier this week. Bellview (Nigeria) B762, N806HE was inside the hangar this week. Bellview B762, N805HE was now outside on the TIMCO ramp. It's nicknamed "Unity" on the nose and has "Thanks Nigeria" titles mid-fuselage. Ex-Frontier 733, EI-CHH (a/w) has been moved to the TIMCO ramp along with ex-United 735, N948UA. Noted two aircraft missing this trip, Cielos Cargo DC-10 N305FE (could be inside hangar?) and ex-United 735 N944UA which probably departed earlier this week. Other then that, everything else looked the same this week.
