This DC-10 was originally delivered to KLM as PH-DTH in April 1975, although it was immediately leased to Viasa until April 1979. It was then returned and re-registered YV-138C and flew in the two-tone blue KLM scheme. In July 1980 it fully rejoined Viasa and is pictured here pushing back from stand at the start of the long flight back to Caracas (CCS). The frame was retired in August 1998, ferried to Pinal Air Park (Marana) (MZJ) and eventually scrapped. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
