slide taken by Norbert Kröpfl. - JY-AEI was one of a pair of Lear 23s which were leased to Arab Wings (the other one was JY-AEG) and came through Munich-Riem on delivery. After a year, JY-AEI was back in Europe and flew initially as HB-VES and as F-GAPY afterwards. In 1981, the aircraft was ferried to Bates City MO and used for spares.

scan from the NK slide collection. - Arab Wings had this Falcon 20 on lease from Executive Jet Aviation between May and July 1975, in order to get experience with the aircraft type for their executive customers. At the end of the lease period, however, the company opted for the Sabreliner 75A and operated up to six of those in the late 70ies and 80ies. - Today, in 2022, this brave Falcon 20 still flies on freight duties with Kalitta Charter - all of its Sabreliner counterparts have been retired many years ago.
