Photo Comment

The final Western color scheme before merging with Delta Air Lines. Delivered to Western November 14, 1969 and sold to Faucett Peru December 1988. Tragically, the 727 was lost while returning from a lease to Air Malta. On September 11, 1990 a distress call was heard as it was some 300 miles from Gander, Newfoundland over the Atlantic Ocean, but the aircraft was never found.
