Cool, but there's something wrong with the cockpit glass.

It's the iFDG model ... In my entry it is the same although less obvious apparently, because no one commented on that

Excellent capture Aussie! I like it thought it could use a little more drama. A few clouds or maybe some scenery. It looks like the aircraft has just taken off so you might want to show us from where.
Otherwise a very nice and clear shot with some pretty colors. Good luck!

Great! I've only seen the green version of the logo once, and that was on a truck, so this is quite a surprise!
I like the contrast. ;)

Ive dug a bit further into the 'green' aspect of Fedex. I thought it may be the company mamby pambying towards a greener 'vision' but as the basics of the company are deleveries, meaning the use of literaly thousands of vehicles and one of the largest fleets of aircraft for a company of this kind, that doesnt make sense does it!
Word has it in our Fedex office that the 'green' is the 'Fedex Group' and we all may become 'green' in time, rather than the blue/purple and orangey logo currently in use. Odd though that weve just odered our winter uniform set, and thats all in the usual fedex colours. Maybe its the US first then the rest follow.....

As far as I can remember green is: FedEx Ground.
http://images.quickblogcast.com/70517-61984/FEDEX1.jpgI was thinking about repainting a 737 and MD-11 I have to make it green and replace "Federal Express" with "Ground"....and then taxi it along a road with cars and submit the screen shot here.

I never paid much attention to the fedex trucks until reading this thread. And today on the freeway, we passed several and all had the green. Now I keep noticing ALL fedex trucks.

I suppose this is common knowledge but has anyone not spotted the arrow in the FedEx logo? It jumps out & hits you when you know about it.

That was on the application for fedex! ;D

I didn't see it until it was pointed out to me.

Felt real dumb afterwards.
