München-Riem
June 1990
N820TC
McDonnell Douglas DC-8-63
45999/377
Trans Continental Airlines
This airframe had previously visited Riem as PH-DEC with KLM on 6 June 1977. N820TC was noted at Riem on 7 April 1990 operating a flight for LTU. The date on this slide says June 1990, so there were probably more flights in spring 1990.

Delivered new to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as PH-DEC in Jul-68, it operated for 16 years until it was sold to a leasing company in Mar-84 and leased to Icelandair as TF-FLU. It returned to the lessor in Mar-89 as N820TC and was leased to Trans Continental Airlines two months later. It was returned to the lessor in Dec-90 and stored as N863E. It was converted to freight configuration in Apr-91 and leased to Southern World Airlines in Jul-91. They didn’t have it long and in Oct-91 it returned to the lessor and was leased to American International Airways (Kalitta!). It was re-registered N787AL in Aug-92 but returned to the lessor 2 months later and was immediately leased to ATI Air Transport International. It was re-registered N788AL in May-94 and continued in service with ATI. On return to the lessor in Feb-97 the aircraft was sold to Airborne Express and re-registered N828AX in Nov-97. Airborne Express were renamed ABX Air in Aug-03 and the aircraft continued in service until it was stored at Cincinnati (CVG), OH, USA in Dec-07 . It was sold in Jul-09 to Meridian Airways, Ghana, as 9G-AXC. Meridian Airways ceased operations in 2010.
Broken up at ACC in January 2015 (rzjets.net).
