Photo Comment

This 742 was originally delivered to Avianca as HK-2300 in June 1979, becoming HK-2980X in May 1983. The plane went on to fly with Tower Air (as EI-CEO and N621FF) and a lease to Garuda (N621FF). In September 2000 was converted to -SF and then flew with Polar (N924FF), UPS (N527UP) and finally Kalitta Air (N924FF and N701CK) before being wfu and ferried to Oscoda-Wurtsmith (KOSC) in October 2012 for storage, and where it was eventually scrapped.
