Photo Comment

This MD-87 was originally delivered to JAS in June 1988 and is pictured pushing back from the 'old' Haneda terminal. Note also the Japan Self Defence Force Skyvan in background, which, unfortunately, did not come with range of my camera. The MD-87 went on to fly with Japan Airlines (mainline and domestic) before joining One-Two-Go as HS-OMI in July 2007. After the grounding of this airline it was parked at Don Muang (DMK) and scrapped in September 2013, although some parts (fuselage?) seem to have been salvaged for use by the Royal Thai Army for training.
