Seen literally days before the infamous hijacking, this is the very aircraft which was seized by Hezbollah terrorists here at Athens for 17 days from 14.6.85 while operating TW847 to Rome. Wfu on 30.9.00 after performing TWA's last 727 revenue flight and ferried to Victorville with 63803 hours/42502 landings; b/u 5.02

Delivered to Air Algerie in 9.80, this 727 was noted engineless at Algiers in early 2008

One of three 727s bought by Ethiopian and delivered in 10.79, this example was wfu at Shannon in 8.92 and stored as N979AL, eventually being converted to a freighter and leased by All Canada Express as C-FACJ in from 1.97. Operated in UPS colours but repainted in All Canada's own livery shortly before becoming C-GUJC in 5.03 and appearing in CargoJet Airways scheme - very smart, but nobody will beat that wonderful original ET paintwork!

Leased in 5.85 from Airbus following four years with Lufthansa as D-AIAE, and registered F-BUAP from 11.85. Stayed with Olympic for a further year before going to Air Inter. Wfu at Opa-locka 7.97 and b/u

Not too often you see something as small as an Aztec in full national airline colours. Was still flying in Greece in the late 2000s, with Global Aviation out of Megara
