Aviaco’s EC-BSE is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07 in August 1982. Note the "España 82 Campeonato Mundial De Futbol" sticker. The DC-8 had been seen here before on 14 September 1974 with Iberia and would return to Riem as C-GQBA with Nationair in summer 1990.

 

Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:

Flown by Iberia from 12.70 and passed to Aviaco in 4.81, before disposal to IAL for Arrow as N940JW in 12.83. Leased by Quebecair (C-GQBA) in 5.84 and Nationair from 9.86, going to Airborne Express in 1.92 as a freighter. Wfu in 12.06 at Lake Charles, LA for scrapping.
