LN-MTC
Boeing 737-2H5

Mey-Air
LN-MTC on the Riem ramp in March 1973. I have reports of this aircraft at Riem from 4 October 1971 (brand new), 25 December 1971 and 26 January 1973. Sister ship LN-MTD was noted here on 26 December 1971.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Jan Olav Martinsen:
Delivered brand new to Mey-Air on 3 September 1971, LN-MTC was repossesed by Boeing in March 1974, converted to B737-201 and delivered as N753N to Piedmont Airlines in May 1974. Later N220US with US Air and Eastwind Airlines. Withdrawn from use at KGSO (Greensboro) in November 1999, scrapped June 2000.
Mey-Air (MT) was formed in 1970 and bought 2 new 737s in 1971 to compete in the growing nordic market for holidays at the mediterranean destinations. Both were fully employed from 1972 but activity decreased during 1973 until the airline stopped after heavy losses in March 1974.
