This one made me arrive 1 hour late to my institute, but it was totally worth it. One of the rarest and most beautiful catch of the year, for the first time here, Air Class' B727 rocketing out of UIO on its way to BOG as QLC4564. It came all the way from Uruguay, making some several-days stopovers at EZE, SCL, and LIM between November 6th and 11th. After BOG, this B727 flew to SJO, then back to its base at MVD via LIM. Ex- N4555E, USAir N773AL & N763US, ATA Airlines & Astar Air Cargo N763AT, Rio Linhas Aéreas & Sideral Air Cargo PR-IOB.

Delivered new to USAir as N773AL on 30 Dec 1982. To N763US on 12 Oct 1993. To American Trans Air as N763AT in Feb 1993. To Astar Air Cargo in Feb 2004 and converted to a freighter.
