K25 slide scan. Built 1970 as XA-TAB for Mexicana. BHT Boğaziçi Hava Taşımacılığı TC-JFB 1988, THY 1989 in experimental colours. Avianca HK-3606X 1990, withdrawn 1992, scrapped Miami 1994. One of 12 early Non Advanced 727-200's ordered by Mexicana which could be equipped with JATO rockets to avoid payload penalties at hot and high airports. The Installation needed relocation of some avionics and air conditioning ducts resulting in the hump on the upper fuselage which the aircaft kept as a distinguishing feature.
