Photo Comment

A search on VP-BDE will almost invariably come up with the much later use of the registration on an Aeroflot DC-10F, but here is the first one. Another Qantas original, this was originally their VH-EBE, sold as N793SA in 5.68. Leased to Pacific Western as CF-PWW and seen here after preparation for another lease (Bahamas World also had VP-BDF & BDG). Sold by TAG to Boeing in 4.83 for KC-135 spares reclaimation; remains stored and later b/u at Davis Monthan
