München-Riem

July 1981

 

F-GBRZ

Fairchild Hiller FH-227B

537

TAT (Air Rouerque colours)

 

This FH-227B had visited Riem before as LN-KAA with Stellar Airfreighter in June 1974.

 

Air Rouergue bought this Fairchild from Stellar in 1979, repainted it in full company colours, but had to hand it off to TAT a few months later. TAT did never repaint it into their own all-yellow scheme and operated it in Air Rouergue colours until the sale to TABA/Brazil as PT-LCT in 1982. - The aircraft had an incident while taxying at Itaituba in 1990 and was retired thereafter.
