Delivered to America West (N153AW) on April 8, 1986 for lease from the owner International Lease Finance Corp (ILFC). Returned to ILFC August 1991 to become N831LF, it was leased out as N732S to Sierra Pacific Airlines from October 1991 to June 1993. Morris Air came into the picture the same month picking the 737 up on lease and taking it into the merger with Southwest Airlines, where it became N672SW. It was sold to Pinnacle Aircraft Sales January 2008 and the registration finally cancelled in December 2014.

Nicely lit against a dark sky. After a few months of storage at East Midlands Airport, this aircraft was delivered to Kuban as VQ-BHD in May 2010

Arriving on a flight from Minsk, approaching Rwy 18C.

Seen landing on a clear bitterly cold morning

Seen against clear blue skies on approach to Stansted. The white nose appears a strange contrast

Whilst I love the low fare revolution that Ryanair have helped bring about, this aircraft does not do them justice with a hybrid ex Continental Airlines paint scheme.

Ex BMI Baby, awaiting delivery. It became VQ-BHB and was broken up at Aukland as ZK-TLB in 2013
