Late 2024 Turkish added several second hand A320 to their huge fleet. This one is ex TACA and Avianca N685TA. But the strange thing is that this registration is out of sequence with all other Turkish Airlines registrations. It is could be because it is operating under A-Jet or AnadoluJet flight numbers. But why would it be in full Turkish c/s then ? Delivered Miami -Opa Locka to Istanbul on 20 and 21 December 2024, first commercial flight on 9 January 2025. (Based on FR24 historical data).

Built in 1996 and here arriving from Van Nuys/CA (KVNY) with call-sign "Ventura (VNT) 6".

A total of 86 SM-2 helicopters were manufactured by PZL-Swidnik, with this single example purchased for the then Ministry of the Interior of the ČSSR. It was delivered in December 1962 and served with the Ministry as OK-BYK until 1970, after which it was transferred to Slov-Air as OK-RUV and used to check the condition of power lines and oil pipelines, as well as for film and TV work. The helicopter was retired in 1975 and transferred to the reserve collection of the Letecké Muzeum Kbely. It has been superbly renovated by LOM PRAHA and is now on display in the main museum hangar.

Arrived from Cape Town via Lagos.

Operated by State Government of Sarawak, with the official coat of arms of Sarawak on the tail. A nice exotic visitor for Toulouse!
