Photo Comment

First of an eventual fleet of twelve for TAA, VH-TJJ "Edmund Kennedy", first flew on 12 March 1967. Ferried to Essendon, Australia, arriving on 13 April 1967, it carried out its first revenue flight three days later. Initially WFU in February 1982 and sold, it was leased back and recommenced operations one year later, renamed "Hamilton Hume". Final revenue flight in Australia was on January 18, 1987. The aircraft was then operated in the US and South America, being finally scrapped in the early 2000's. Image taken near Catalina Island. (McDonnell Douglas Corporation - Neg. No. GC367-197)
