"RIVERSIDE, Calif., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- FedEx Express has donated a Boeing 727-200F to California Baptist University for use by its new aviation science program. The cargo jet made its final taxi today after landing at the Riverside Municipal Airport. The aircraft will be on permanent display at the airport and will provide a working laboratory for aviation science students."

Now this is interesting stuff, folks.  First, this is an entirely new program for Cal Baptist, and I believe a first for Rivererside Airport (RAL) to have a Boeing 727 land there.
  
To date, the largest aircraft I have spotted at RAL is a Boeing C-17.

Thanks to our Inland Empire Roving Reporter, HB, for the tip.
