Started to fly as N945F from 4 Feb'89 with Evergreen International Airlines. It was then assigned Unifly Express from 18 Ap'89, but never delivered. The nine soldiered on with Evergreen up to Sep'89. It registration was cancelled by 4 May'15, but looking at this picture, it was already withdrawn from use years earlier. The Northwest DC-9-32 (c/n 47175/298) in the right below corner was delivered to American International Airways on 3 Jun'83. It also flew for Marfreless Inc. from Nov'84, then to Republic Airlines on 16 Jul'85 and eventually Northwest Airlines from 1 Oct'86. Canx 4 Aug'08.
