This DC-9 was originally delivered to Inex-Adria as YU-AHW in April 1971 and went on to fly with Adria Airways as a lease to ZAS Airline of egypt with this registration. In 1991, whilst still with Adria it became SL-ABG and then S5-ABG before joining Avioimpex in December 1994. The plane was registered Z3-ARA in March 1995 and is pictured taxiing out to rw28 for departure (presumably back to Skopje (LWSK)). It was wfu in December 2001 and still appears to be intact, although derelict and engineless at Naples (LIRN).

ex YU-AHW, SL-ABG. Stored in Napoli since 2004

Delivered to Adria in 1971, flew for Adria and Avioimpex from Macedonia until December 2001. Now parked at the maintenance area at Napels. Right in front of the old DC-9 you can see the scrapping of a G-222 in progress. Judging by the location, this should (have been) G-222VS MM62107 (4012).
