Negative from FNG Archive. While operating a cargo flight from Frankfurt to Stuttgart in poor weather fog persisted at the destination in combination with partly unservicable approach lights and an unreliable glide slope. Letting down below minima the aircraft struck ground shortly before and north of the threshold tearing off the complete undercarriage and #3 engine. Surprisingly a go around could be initiated and the flight was diverted to Nuremberg were a belly landing was carried out on the foamed runway. Subsequently scrapped. Note escape rope from cockpit window and feathered #2 engine.

Built for Pan Am as N658PA in 1971 and stored at Wichita, KS. Converted to a freighter in 1976 and delivered to Pan Am. To Flying Tiger Line and reregistered as N818FT in 1983. Merged into Federal Express in 1989 and reregistered as N627FE in 1990. To UPS as N683UP in 1992. Withdrawn from use at Roswell, NM in 2008 and later scrapped.

This aircraft was converted for cargo use. It was seen here taxying past the Queen's Building, a most unusual sight for a cargo aircraft.

An early conversion to freighter after only 5 years in its previous passenger configuration.
