Once again, AA. But this time a much older release.
American Airlines 727-227, N718AA
Gemini Jets GJAAL088
released in 2000
the model:
despite of looking a bit outdated in 2023 this is still a lovely little model and - due to a lack of really good moulds - one of the few 727s in my collection.
the real thing:
20611/894 delivered as a 727-227 to Braniff International as N413BN in August 1972 were it wore "Flying Colors" blue/light blue.
In January 1981 the airframe went to American as N718AA. In April 1985 it lost its engine #3 inflight, luckily with a happy ending.
The aircraft was retired early in 2002, sold to Kalitta to be used for spares. It was finally scraped at Oscoda that same year.
