slide scan from the NK collection. - UPS was the final operator of this Boeing 727; it was retired at Roswell as N934UP in 2004 and later broken up.

Negative from FNG Archive. While operating a cargo flight from Frankfurt to Stuttgart in poor weather fog persisted at the destination in combination with partly unservicable approach lights and an unreliable glide slope. Letting down below minima the aircraft struck ground shortly before and north of the threshold tearing off the complete undercarriage and #3 engine. Surprisingly a go around could be initiated and the flight was diverted to Nuremberg were a belly landing was carried out on the foamed runway. Subsequently scrapped. Note escape rope from cockpit window and feathered #2 engine.

This European-based 737 had seen previous service with PSA, Pacific Western, and Bahamasair.

Damaged beyond repair by a hurricane while on maintenance at Lake Charles-Chennault in 2020.

"Clipper Flying Eagle" was retired by PanAm in 1985 after less than five years service, and when photographed had been in storage with Marshalls at Cambridge for many months awaiting rework for its next operator, the RAF, with whom it became TriStar C.2 ZE706.

Unnamed. My other 1987 photo shows this aircraft after naming.

Operated from new in May 1961 until 1971 when it was sold to Lloyd International as G-AYRZ. After several more changes of ownership it ended up as TY-BBW with the Benin Government and was scrapped at Ostend (EBOS) in 1997.
