SD40-2 3102 was book-ending three of the latter on Fort Worth on March 9, 1980. Richard Yaremko

No offense to those who like this one, or any of the other downpriced schemes. AA Stanford White Carmel Valley, CA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/25/18 22:52 by agentatascadero. Date: 09/24/18 17:53 Re: MOPAC Monday's-Screaming Eagle at Fort Worth Author: tomstp I agree with you.

The eagle did very much help the simple blue paint job and kept us reminded of "Route of the Eagles". I was most disappointed in the MoPs inconsistency of nose stripes than anything else.
