Yeah, OO-DHR definitely has a darker shade of red than the rest of the fleet. The picture linked to above, if you look at the Convairs in the background, you can see that they have the more typical shade of red on them.

I wish I still had my copy of the DHL paint specs that I made from when we got HZ-SN14 from Saudi Arabia. It had both the "White" and "Yellow" schemes complete with FS numbers.

I think it was US POSTAL SERVICES .... it was certainly something to do with US Post anyway .... and it was a DC8-50F.

I'll see if I can source the image .... then add it to this thread later for you and anyone else who may be interested.

Here's a good list of the "USPS" fleet. One thing to note though is that USPS never actually operated the aircraft. All were operated by contractors like Emery Worldwide, Ryan International, and Express One.

Rather interesting list Chris - thanks for posting it here.
I didn't know that several DC-9s were operated on behalf of the US Postal Service too.
