Hit the blast barrier with the end of its wing while turning onto its parking stand. The end of the wing broke off and fuel gushed out onto the parking area. The passengers were quickly evacuated but it was several hours before their luggage was taken off. Delivered to Balkan as LZ-BTY in 1989. Sold in Russia as RA-85096 then to Iran Air Tour EP-MBP in 2001. To Aria Air as EP-EAN then back to Iran Air Tour as EP-MCJ in 2007 and Eram Air as EP-EKD in 2008. Withdrawn from use at Tehran-Mehrabad by 2012. Still there in 2018. Later scrapped. This photo is copyright © Paul Seymour, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
