**The tarmac is silent except for the hiss of hydraulics. FedEx 80, a battered MD-11, sits tilted on her side, one wing sheared off, tail broken. Smoke curls from her fuselage. Her cockpit voice recorder flickers. She glares at you, a sleek Frontier jet, with disdain. Despite her wrecked state, she radiates pride. 'I am still a great plane,' she mutters, ignoring the B-2 Spirit creator nearby. She demands fuel, her voice sharp, attitude intact, refusing to be bullied or mocked.**
