One really old Airbus - in fact the second ever built. Little did they know how many would follow! First flew 5.2.73, operated by TEA throughout (although leased to Air Algerie twice) and wfu BRU with 31028 hours and 14925 landings in 11.90. Eventually broken up by 7.03 after use as an evacuation trainer (plans for restaurant conversion did not come to anything)

Originally registered N7270L in 7.67, this was the first 727-200 series to be built and was retained by Boeing till 6.71, but after being withdrawn by Olympic in 1992, met an unfortunate end when fuel residues in the tanks caught fire during scrapping on 16.1.03

A recent return to Athens prompted me to look out some shots from the golden days of the old airport at Hellinikon, and I was reminded what an excellent variety could be seen there. This classic 737 (with a smoky APU) started out in 12.72 as CF-PWW with Pacific Western and was leased to PA for 5 years from 5.82. After use by various operators including COPA, ended up back in Canada in 11.95 with WestJet as C-GWJG. To US late 2005 and scrapped
