Photo Comment

This MD-83 was originally delivered to Oasis as EC-269 in May 1989 and EC-EOY a month later. It went on to fly with Aerocancan, Private Jet Enterprises and then back to Oasis, all as VR-BMI, before also being re-registered as EC-525 and then EC-FVC. The plane joined Edelweiss in February 1997 and is pictured lined up on rw28 for departure. In March 1999 it went to Spanair as EC-HBP and in August 1996 to MAP Jet as OE-LRW. Two years later it was retired and ferried to Stockholm (ARN) for storage, and where it was scrapped in April 2015.
