Another re-use of a DC-8 registration, delivered new to Pan Am in August 1987. Acquired by Tarom from Delta in April 1994 as YR-LCC but on 31st March 1995 was written off 3nm north Bucharest-Otopeni on departure for Brussels. The aircraft nose-dived into the ground after thrust asymmetry problems and possible incapacitation of the captain. The fact that the pilot flying had spent most of his time on Soviet types was a possible factor too, the artificial horizon acting in the opposite manner on western aircraft.

Ex-F-WWCH. 4/1994 to Tarom as YR-LCC. Written off at Bucharest 31-Mar-1995.

Later to Delta and then to Tarom as YR-LCC. Written off at Bucharest 31.3.1995

Unfortunately this aircraft would be lost less than six months after this shot was taken. Shortly after take-off from OTP for BRU an asymmetric thrust situation developed with the engines, that was for whatever reason not corrected by the crew, and the plane crashed into a field near Bucharest with the loss of the 60 people on board.

RO 371 taxies in after arriving from OTP. Unfortunately this aircraft would be lost less than a year later operating this very route. Shortly after take-off an asymmetric thrust situation developed with the engines, that was for whatever reason not corrected by the crew, and the plane crashed into a field near Bucharest with the loss of the 60 people on board.
