Let's get small
A little earlier today I was riding the San Diego Trolley back to where I had left my car this morning to go to jury service. The route the Trolley takes for me to get back to where I normally park my car after I have been in the San Diego Downtown area for whatever reason briefly passes San Diego's airport, Lindbergh Field. When this occurs it is possible to glimpse planes moving around on the tarmac.
When that occurred today I saw something I found very interesting: A small propeller plane that looked barely larger than a standard general aviation plane that had the FedEx logo on it.
Which instantly raised the question for me: Why would FedEx be flying planes that small? I'd never before seen a plane that small carrying the FedEx logo.
The answer appears to be "FedEx Feeder". (Oddly, I can't seem to find good references to this on FedEx's own web site, which is why I link here to a Wikipedia entry.)
