	N719CK / N6806 (cn 19481) (View at 1152.) Certainly one of the ugliest planes I'd ever seen, this 1968 build ex-American Airlines 727 was converted to a freighter the year before (1996) and immediately put to work forsaking a new coat of paint. Pictured here on the south cargo ramp wearing the temporary registration of N719CK, this plane spent most of its life prior, and after this shot as N6806. It went on to be painted in the final Kitty Hawk livery before being broken up in Fort Wayne in 2005-2006. This registration is now worn by a 747-100F operated by Kalitta Air.
