A busy ramp scene at New York La Guardia in the late 1970s

N971Z was new with Ozark in 7.66 and taken over by TWA 10.86, becoming their last Series 10 in service till withdrawn at St Louis in 6.99. Parted-out at Victorville

Busy night scene at La Guardia as North Central's ship no. 906 is turned round. This aircraft was never re-sold, NC being absorbed into Republic in 7.79, in turn merged with Northwest in 10.86. Last service 7.1.05; ferried to Marana next day for storage in old NW c/s

"Fly me, I'm Bonnie". Received in 4.69, this 727 was taken over by Pan Am in 1.80 and leased by Braniff in 1.92. Wfu at MIA in blue c/s in late '92 and broken up at Tucson a year later

This aircraft followed a similar route to N376NE which I just uploaded in Delta colours - Northeast 10.66, merged with DL, Air N/E bought 11.74, to Britt 7.82 and Aerocaribe 1.91 as XA-RSV. Dbr when the gear collapsed on landing at Acapulco 13.3.92 and ferried to Mérida for breaking after temporary fix

Pulling up from LGA's r/w 04 with the smog of New York hanging in the background, this 727 served Northwest from 11.64 to 5.77 when sold to PSA as N973PS. Leased to Mexicana as XA-MEN for two years from 9.80 and back to Northwest after return, reverting to original reg in 1.84. Donated to Wentworth Inst Tech 9.92 and grounded at Hanscom Field, MA as a training aid

Originally N1551 with Braniff (red livery) and registered N1134J on acquisition by Mohawk in 9.70. Merged into Allegheny 4.72 and USAir 10.79. Wfu at Las Vegas but ferried to San Antonio and used by fire service from 1994
