N418GE arrived a few minutes later from PIE. Both were flying as

parked on the TIMCO Ramp in full c/s. The ex-ACA B762, N526PH is
now in full Iraqi Airways c/s and was inside the hangar Saturday.
Another interesting aircraft at GYR, was the USAF NT-43A, '73-155'
that has the extensions on its nose and tail. '73-155' was inside
the small hangar this weekend. The only other new aircraft at GYR
was AAY MD83, N891GA which was inside the hangar. The ex-ACA A320,
N754US that was stripped last weekend and on the TIMCO Ramp was
missing and may be in the paint bay. Both ex-UAL B735's, N952UA and
N948UA were parked on the TIMCO Ramp this weekend along with ex-COA

DAL MD11, N810DE departed as flt# FDX9069 to LAX on 12/3. ex-WOA
DC10, N353WL has apparently gone to Omni Air, it departed 12/1 as
flt# OAE270 to TUL. ex-AWE B732, N180AW was missing this weekend

TIMCO Ramp this weekend and one was near the fence by the general
aviation hangars.
