This is former Japan Air Lines JA8310 that was bought by Aereon Aviation Resources (AAR) in 1972. The aircraft is pictured during it's first lease to Dan Air November 1972 - December 1985 (and several months in 1987). Last with Air Charter Service as 9Q- CRA from April 1992, the airliner was withdrawn in 1995 and scrapped at Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

What a pity that Dan-Air only kept this livery for a relatively short time. I think it was rather classy!

Served Japan Airlines as JA6310 01.66 to 11.72. Operated by Dan-Air until sold in 11.85 to Avianca, becoming HK-3201X.
