This is the first of two Braathens SAFE 737s registered as LN-SUA. Delivered to Braathens SAFE as LN-SUA in 1971. To Eagle Air as TF-VLT in 1984 then to Air Atlanta Icelandic as TF-ABT in 1990 and Transmile Air as 9M-PMM in 1993. Leased to Garuda Indonesia as PK-GWR and returned as 9M-PMM in 1997. Leased to Centennial Air as RP-C2906 in 1999 and returned as 9M-PMM in 2001. Used as an instructional airframe at International College Yayasan, Melaka from 2011.

Confusingly, Braathens SAFE operated two 737-205s registered LN-SUA. The first was a -205C between 1971 and 1984. The second was a -205 between 1986 and 1993. This is the first of the pair seen in the first 737 livery with the red stripe on the windows. When the -505s arrived, the red stripe was lowered to below the windows.

I've many happy memories of trips on this machine when operated by Atlanta Icelandic for Finnair and German Cargo as TF-ABT in the early nineties. Previously TF-VLT and originally LN-SUA of Braathens from 3.71. Now stored at Subang where this picture was taken - the aircraft was still active, just after the airport had ceased handling regular scheduled services in favour of the new KLIA. Later flew in DHL yellow then stored in basic white for Gading Sari
