US President Jimmy Carter signed the Air Cargo Reform Bill on November 9, 1977 allowing cargo airlines to operate larger aircraft. Federal Express bought six 727s from United Airlines in December 1997. Christened Nicole, this was the first one delivered on January 11, 1978 . Finally withdrawn in December 2002 the aircraft was later broken up. Federal Express chose to re-use the registration on the carrier's first 767-3S2F delivered from Boeing on September 5, 2013.
