This 727 was originally delivered to Delta as N461DA in June 1973. In August 1984 it went to People Express (N520PE) and was later merged into Continental (N17789). After being phased out it was leased to Ryan International and then followed a series of leases to Asia Pacific and ownership changes. By August 2001 the plane was flying in Platinum Commercial Air Cargo Colours (operated by Pacific Airways). All good things come to an end and the plane was initially stored at Goodyear (GYR) from June 2002 but sometime around April 2004 ferried to OPF, registered N727PL and eventually scrapped.
