Greetings from Texas!

Curious about Champion Air and their relationship with the 727, I learned that they had the very last bird off the assembly line, #1817...wondering if this one might end up at home here?

Sadly she'd lost her motors by this point but still a great shot of the tail. Any idea who the 10 in the background belonged to?

Many thanks for the consideration!

The DC-10 is one of Arrow Air's airplanes. That was the last version of the livery before they finally folded after the reduction in AMC Charter contracts in the late-2000's. That pic was probably just after Arrow ceased operations in 2010.
