Photo Comment

Originally N8404 of American Airlines, seen after a lease from Buffalo Airways to Merpati Nusantara Airlines and about to go on further lease with AZAL Azerbaijan as 4K-401 (note very small registration marking). W/o on 30th October 1995 on arrival at Baku, crashing after losing power due to fuel starvation. Excessive fuel consumption had resulted from flying with the left main gear extended having failed to retract on departure from Urumqi
