Ex N475PA of Pan Am, purchased by TAROM in December 1976. Leased by Air Afrique in October 1991. Like sister-ship YU-ABM, w/o while operated by that airline. On 17th August 1995 it overran the runway on landing at N'Djamena, Chad and was dbr. The no.4 engine would not go into reverse thrust so directional problems were experienced on the wet runway and the left main gear hit a concrete block This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
