Photo Comment

This 727 was already over 25 years old when it landed at Kabul. The aircraft was first delivered to Air France as F-GCDA in March 1980. The 727 was transferred to Air Charter in January 1991 and in November 1992 to Euralair International, still keeping its same registration. It was withdrawn for service in June 1994, but Iran purchased it as LX-IRA in October 1994. Iran Aseman started to operated the aircraft and registered it to EP-ASA in November 1998. Eventally the old-stager was again withdrawn from use on 1 March 2018. It was last seen stored/scrapped at at Tehran-Mehrabad Int'l.
