This B737 was the only dash 500 with La Reunion based Air Austral. In November of 1990, it was delivered new to Europe Aero Service as F-GHXN but joined the Air Austral fleet already a month later (December 19, 1990). As such, it was a frequent visitor to Madagascar's capital Antananarivo, and the picture shown here was shot from the control tower, exposing the typical rice fields in the background. Withdrawn from use in 2011 and scrapped in October 2012.
