Let it speak for itself:

Side notes I thought were interesting; did you know that the USPS had Boeing 727s in the 90’s? Picture shown bellow:

Or that they have their own SWAT team called the USPIS?

    @WaterFlavouredSpitfires Circa 1990’s I believe. They also had Douglas DC-9s.

    I've always wondered does anybody have a timescale for when usps's 727 was in service?

    @X99STRIKER They also get 8 miles per gallon and have been in service since 1986.
