Question for FDX guys

Was in SGN last month and saw something that looked like a Lockheed Electra that has "FEDEX" on the tail. Just curious who the operator is and I guess it's coming from Subic?

I've seen a Convair on the ramp for yrs that goes to SGN (ho chi min, vietnam)...it's a FedEx feeder, I believe Corporate Air out of Montana..?
I don't remember any Electra though?

It's a Convair and it belongs to Air Tahoma. FedEx charter.

If you are a a member of FI.com, there used to be some hilarious threads about Air Tahoma.

Haven't been there for awhile, don't know if they're still available.

I logged on today to search for Air Tahoma stories. Any out there?

Thanks,

Ok, so it wasn't an Electra. Sorry we taxied by real fast and I only had a quick glimpse.

Also, isn't there enough volume out of Vietnam these days to warrant a mainline flight into there?
