As from the early Eighties XP Express Parcel Systems had MST as homebase for their parcel flights towards Europe. Several airlines operated with small aircraft for XP during nighttime. XP itselves leased several F-27's for their parcel flights. One of them was this PH-FKT who was based at MST. The Fokker is here taxiing out during brought daylight, wich wasn't that normal, on a cargocharter towards the 04. In the background a reversing Emery Eight.
