Photo Comment

This B747-200 was originally delivered to Avianca in 1979. In 1991 it was due for an complete overhaul, known as a D-check. KLM Maintenance was a reputable place to get an overhaul for Boeing 747 classics. This maintenance visit was the 100th D-check KLM performed in Hangar 11. YouTube has an interesting video on this aniversary check.
