Sorry for the heat haze but this plane is quite interesting as it is one of the few to be assembled by SAIC in Shanghai. It was delivered to China Eastern in April 1990 and only touched down in the USA for the first time after being ferried to MZJ for storage. The plane escaped the axeman as in November 2011 it joined Venezolana as YV514T, later becoming YV3475. It seems to be still current with the airline. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
