D-ABYH c/n 20559 Boeing 747-230B - delivered new to Lufthansa's charter subsidiary Condor Flugdienst in March 1972. The aircraft flew with the airline for nearly seven years, before being sold to Korean Air as HL7442. Four years later, on 1 September 1983, the aircraft was shot down by Soviet Air Force SU-15s for breaching Soviet Airspace over Sakhalin Island while operating flight KE007. All on board were killed.
