G-GCAL
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10
46501 / 2
Cal Air International
G-GCAL is coming in to land on runway 25. This airframe was also reported at Riem as G-BELO with Laker Airways Skytrain on 30 December 1979 (there were probably more visits with Laker during the early 1980s).
Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Alastair T. Gardiner:
This very early DC-10 - airframe no. 2 - originally flew for McDonnell Douglas before being delivered to Laker Airways as G-BELO in June 1977. It went to American Trans Air as N183AT in February 1983 and then Cal Air three years later. It transferred over to Novair in December 1988 and then went to Project Orbis as N220AU in November 1991 as a flying hospital. The frame is now preserved in Tucson at the Pima Air & Space Museum.
