FedEx shows off retro-livery 777F as Memphis hub named after founder

FedEx unveiled a Boeing 777F aircraft sporting a vintage livery, marking the renaming of its Memphis hub to honor company founder Frederick Wollis Kendrick. The specific aircraft, identified as N884FD, was initially delivered to FedEx in 2011 and has been repainted with colors reminiscent of the Falcon aircraft utilized over half a century prior. This commemorative event occurred at Memphis International Airport, where the facility now bears Kendrick’s name. The retro-livery 777F is currently operating out of the Memphis hub. This initiative highlights FedEx's commitment to celebrating its history and recognizing key figures within the organization.
