Photo Comment

Delivered to CAAC as B-2444 in 1980. Transferred to Air China in 1988. Reregistered as B-2438 in 1992 as the Chinese consider the number 4 to be unlucky. Sold as N136SW in 1999 and stored at Victorville, CA. Last flight to Plattsburgh, NY in 2001 and parted out. Remains scrapped in 2006.
