Rare shot of this machine, one of two delivered to Ethiopia in 1981. Unfortunately my only opportunity for photos was around midday with the sun directly overhead, but some great subjects to be seen nonetheless. Sister-ship ET-AHI crashed at Gondar in 1988

Another Ryanair disposal, awaiting her Ethiopian registration which was ET-ANB, sadly soon w/o 25th January 2010 in the sea off Beirut

Third Q400 for ASky, which was founded as a regional carrier out of Lomé, Togo by Ethiopian Airlines in 2010 (also has three B737). Delivery route YZD-YYR-UAK-KEF-STN-ALG-LFW

Departing for Rome, Ethiopian's 10th Q400, delivered on 2nd July

Damaged beyond repair at Axum Airport. Scanned from K64 slide.

Ethiopian's fourth Triple, delivered at the end of April 2011, binging the fleet at the time to five. Note Star Alliance logo on nose - the airline was to become a member in December that year

The rebuild progresses - a journey into the unknown with plastics technology being taken to the limit as a new section is patched in to replace the fire-damaged rear fuselage

Delivered to Ethiopian in 11.62. Parted-out at Davis Monthan for KC-135 spares

ET-AIE was operated by Ethiopian for 20 years from 1984 until sold as N721SW in 2004.

Ex RAF FZ647 and TC-EKE. Served Ethipian Airlines from August 1966 until retired in 1991. It is being towed to the apron for its first service of the day.

With stickers to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Ethiopian Airlines. To N565WW in August 2020 for cargo conversion and later N565NC

Still looking good at the end of her Ethiopian career, this 720 first served Continental as N57201 between 4.62 and 11.74. To Davis Monthan for KC-135 spares reclaimation and eventually broken up

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!
