Climbing out of Love Field, this 727 was converted to (F) after AA retired it, and carried regns N933FT, N521FE and HR-AMI.

A bit distant and on grainy Ektachrome, captured just at liftoff from Love Field. Light (or perhaps faded) blue pastel.

Unit: 34 Sqn. The sun was barely over the horizon when this photo was taken of the RAAF's new Falcon 20, the first time this photographer had seen one. Business jets were a novelty in Australia because of import restrictions on aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds (5700kg) to protect the Two-Airline Policy. Qantas and the Department of Civil Aviation had the only civil business jets, both with HS125s, until July 1967 when approval was given to import Falcon 20 VH-BIZ. It would be over two years before another business jet was approved. A11-085 was sold in 1989 as VH-JSY.

EX RAF FD789 March 1943 until April 1947. Converted to 32-seat "Pionair" standard for BEA. Operated by Silver City and BUA group companies December 1959 until February 1968. Current in 2011 as N59NA.
