Delivered new to Canadian Superior Oil in 1967 and subsequently served with a multitude of operators, including a period as 8Q-CSL. In 2022 it is current as C-GIKB with Kenn Borek Air.

From 1965 till 1994, 7T-WAB has performed military duties for nearly 30 years before it was sold to Moldova as ER-ACC. It is not clear however, whether the aircraft was really operated in Moldavia, and the reg was cancelled again in 1996.

Guyana's national airline made two weekly fligths into Miami, using two Tupolev 154s. One was leased from TAROM (YR-TPJ) and operated in TAROM colours, the other was this very nice Tu-154M in full Guyana livery. Today I was lucky, and I was able to capture this rare bird landing on Miami's southern runway. It was sold to Cubana in 1988 as CU-T1276, then became RA-85818 with Omskavia, EP-MAJ with Iran Air Tour, then back to RA-85818. Last noted in 2009, fate unknown.

With engine no.3 shut down, prop feathered, AESA's venerable workhorse YS-05C is seen here on another one of Miami's routine three-engined arrivals. Less than two years later, on June 29, 1988, this aircraft crashed at Comalapa, El Salvador, during take-off for yet another flight to Miami.
