Previously N6202D, D-AGWC, HB-IUM and N834NK. Operated by Swiftair, though devoid of markings.

Arriving from Malpensa as flight VE 5728.

First registered as N9012J on Feb. 29 1992. Leased to Southern Cross Airlines (trading as Compass Airlines) from 6 August 1992. It entered the Australian Register as VH-LNI on August 6 1992. Compass ceased all operations due to bankruptcy 11 March 1993. It entered the USA register as N532MD in December 1993. It was later reregistered N9409F and leased to TWA . Later operated by American Airlines until withdrawn from use in 2016.

Passengers clad in orange - this aircraft flew a load of football fans to Leipzig, where the Dutch team beat Serbia and Montenegro in the World Cup this afternoon.

This former TWA MD-80 missed its take-off slot and wound up in the penalty box for a short while. 2015 was the final year of MD-80 service at SAN by American Airlines. Thirty-odd years was a pretty good run.

Blue Line carrying orange-clad Dutch football fans after Holland beat France in Bern the night before.

This GPA-owned MD started life with Airtours as G-GMJM in 11.91, passing to Edelweiss in 1.96 then Meridiana as EI-CRW from 4.99. To Jetran as N276CS in 2012 . The 757 on the ground was G-MCEA leased to Spanair by Airtours

Notes with my earlier shot of this aircraft as EC-ECO. Flew for Nouvelair 2.96-9.99

Air Sur was the new name for Canafrica which received this MD new in 4.87. After 11.90 flew with TUR, Transwede, Balair, Nouvelair Tunisie and Avioimpex. Stored at Goodyear, AZ, since 2002

This 'Mad Dog' almost caught me out by taking off the opposite way to all the other traffic. Austral still had about 10 MDs in operation with half a dozen or so in store. This one was originally a Finnair machine
