In the short-lived Aurora Borealis colours that caused a lot of press in Norway. In the end the aurora was replaced by the Norwegian flag.

The new and the old, with LN-BRN (landing) still in the old Braathens SAFE livery. Personally I preferred the original.

Delivered new 28th March 1991 to Braathens and leased straight to Lufthansa as D-ACBC, returned and registered LN-BRJ 28th March 1994. To Air Baltic as YL-BBB 13th Nov 2003
