Photo Comment

This was originally delivered in May 1985 to TDA Toa Domestic Airlines and it also was passed on to JAS and then JAL. It is pictured here lifting off rw32L at dusk for another domestic hop. The plane was retired and then bought by Allegiant in December 2009. It was registered N503PT, stored at Kingman (IGM) and stripped for spares before being scrapped.
