N221FE (cn 20932) With it pouring rain and having to hold an umbrella at the same time as my camera, this shot didn't come out as well as I had hoped. This old FedEx B722 sits on the rain soaked ramp at the Dayton Air Show. I'm not sure if this was meant to be on static or just happened to be there, but this old bird looks sad.

This is a great shot Andrew, I usually wrap my gear in a plastic grocery bag with an elastic around the lens when standing in the rain. This old bird had her first flight in Sept. 1974 making her just over 41 years old! She went straight to Air Canada as C-GAAA and then in Oct. 1986 she was converted to freighter with FEDEX. Her status is now "Preserved"
