München-Riem
November 1989
TC-JFA
Boeing 727-264
20434 / 842
Türk Hava Yolları (THY) - Turkish Airlines
TC-JFA at the holding point for runway 07. The airframe had visited Riem before with Boğaziçi Hava Taşımacılığı (BHT).
Information from flickr - thanks to Paul:
Delivered to Mexicana as XA-TAC in 1970. To Bogazici Air Transport as TC-JFA in 1988 then to Turkish Airlines in 1989. To Avianca as HK-3605X in 1990. To Aeron Aviation as N434ZV but registration never applied and stored at Mobile-Brookley in 1992. Still there in 1996 then scrapped.
One of 12 early Non Advanced 727-200's ordered by Mexicana which could be equipped with JATO rockets to avoid payload penalties at hot and high Airports. The installation needed relocation of some avionics and air condition ducts resulting in the hump on the upper fuslage which the aircaft kept as a distinguishing feature.
