München-Riem
October 1991
EL-JNS
Boeing 707-323C
18689 / 354
Skyair Cargo
EL-JNS was noted at Riem operating an Iberia Cargo flight on 26 October 1991, probably the precise date of this shot.
IB Cargo didn’t have any dedicated freighters at that time and leased what was needed on a seasonal basis. Cargosur and Aeronaves del Peru freighters appeared at Riem fairly frequently as part of a longer-term, but irregular series of cargo flights from ca. 1990 to 1992, sometimes in collaboration with Iberia. AECA Carga’s DC-8 HC-BQH also turned up on such a flight (5 January 1991), as well as several Boeing 707 freighters: Aeronaves del Peru OB-1400, SkyAir Cargo EL-JNS (26 October 1991), Southern Air Transport N528SJ (30 April 1992), Florida West Air N720FW (2 April 1992). (Thanks to Ramin Fischer and Chris Witt for this information.)

Boeing 707-323C c/n 18689 was delivered new to American Airlines as N7555A in Nov 1963 and flew with the airline for 13 years, before being leased firstly to Trans Mediterranean Airlines (TMA) in 1976, and then to Tradewinds in 1978, initially as N7555A and then as G-WIND. After sale in 1982, the aircraft adopted a number of exotic identities, J6-SLF with Saint Lucia Airways, later Caribbean Air Transport, N6097C, N902RQ with Ark Leasing, EL-JNS with Sky Air Cargo (Liberia), EL-ALI with Daallo Airlines Djibouti), and finally in 2001 it was sold to Cargo Plus Aviation (UAE) as 3D-ALJ for spares. The aircraft was gradually stripped and scrapped at Sharjah airport, UAE.
