D-ABOD is taxiing past the viewing terrace for a late afternoon departure from runway 07. At the end of its career, D-ABOD would once again return to Riem in March 1976 painted as Air Force One on the port side for a movie.
First flight 5 April 1960 and delivered to Lufthansa on 24 April 1960 (baptised "Frankfurt" in Frankfurt on 16 September 1960). Last scheduled flight and wfu on 30 April 1975. Preserved at Hamburg airport (wearing fake registrations D-ABOB and D-AFHG) used as a ground traner(and occasional movie prop) from 1976 until broken up in June 2021. Individual parts were auctioned off, and the cockpit will be preserved in Sweden.
