Delivered to Garuda Indonesian Airways as PK-GCT in 1958. Sold as N90908 in 1972. To American Inter-Island as N827AA in 1978 then to Air Resorts Airlines in 1982. Withdrawn from use at Carlsbad in 1990 and scrapped in 1993.

JUS827 taxiing out for departure to KYIP. Built in 1974, ex F-WMKG, N4444F, N86W, N98LB, and OE-GNN. Still wearing her previous operator's title on the tail for some reason.

St. Thomas was notorious among pilots for its short (then 4,658 ft) runway; the B727 was the heaviest type authorised to use it, and even then only in one direction. After the fatal crash of an AA 727 there in 4.76, the airline suspended jet service to the island and introduced Convairliners. This 440 was originally Garuda's PK-GCT in 1.58 and was b/u at Carlsbad in 1993. My arrival at STT was by Eastern - 727.... but I left on a Dak!
