Pictured departing Mexico City on a hot January day, N1503W had been with Western Airlines since July 28, 1968. By August 1980 it was sold to TAAG Angola as D2-TOM. On October 10, 1988, an electrical fault started a fire in the forward cargo hold while on the ground at Luanda, Angola. The crew escaped, but the aircraft was damaged enough to be written off.
