The Coronado was a great aircraft noisy and very fast but alas it did guzzle fuel. Luckily Spantax were happy to operate quite a large fleet of them for a number of years. Delivered to American 04 Apr 1962 as N5610. Bought by Spantax 5 years later on 19 Feb 1967 as EC-BJC. This aircraft was WFU at Palma in Oct 1979 and broken up in 1991. Parking next to B747-127 N601BN 'The Big Orange' from Braniff. Also in view a Britannia 737, 707's from BCAL and Dan Air, 5 Dan Air Comets and an HS748.
