    The Dassault Falcon bearing serial no. 84, first flew on April 27, 1967, and was used by LTV Aerospace Corporation until being purchased by FedEx on March 6, 1972. Originally registered N1FE, it flew for FedEx from the beginning of its operations in 1973 until the type was withdrawn from service by early 1984, at which point it was placed in storage in Marana, Ariz. (above). It was moved to Memphis in 1985 and re-registered N9FE before being restored by volunteer employees and put on permanent display. N1FE/N9FE, was named “Laurie”.

    While N1FE/N9FE is technically the first aircraft purchased by FedEx, N8FE, named "Wendy", has the honor of being the first to be handed over to FedEx after freighter conversion and enter service. That aircraft is currently on public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, inside their Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington D.C.
