München-Riem

D-ACWF

Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules (L-382G)

382-4839

Wirtschaftsflug

 

The Boeing 707 on the left is Denver Port of Calls‘ N702PC.

 

This Hercules had also visited Riem two years before, on 18 June 1980, as Lockheed‘s commercial demonstrator N4110M. I've seen a photo of it at Riem completely in bare metal and with „SUPER HERCULES Lockheed L-100-30“ titles on the forward fuselage.
