Photo Comment

This was originally delivered to Airtours as G-RJER in September 1981. It also flew with Reno Air and American (as N882RA), Freebird (TC-FBT), Viking Airlines, Air Scandic, Aero Asia International (all as SE-RDH) before joining Sky Wings in February 2006. It was operated for a time by XL Airways, and operated for some time from PIK, but it is pictured here after these flights had stopped and the plane is about to be returned to Greece. It later went to Khors Aircompany (as UR-CDR) and then Zagros Air in May 2009 (UP-CDR & EP-ZAC) where it is still current.
