München-Riem
ca. May 1972
N5624
Convair 990A-30A-5
30-10-16
Modern Air Transport
N5624 is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07 (noted here on 7 May 1972, maybe the precise date for this shot). This airframe was frequently seen at the airport during 1968, e.g. on 20 February, 5 May, 26 May, 16 June, 23 June and 30 June (dates from Klaus Held’s Riem chronicle). It returned still with Modern Air Transport, but re-registered as N5624 on 7 May 1972 (possibly the precise date for this shot) and then as N990E with Nomads Travel club on 18 September 1978. It left Riem for the last time on 24 September 1978 after a 6-day stay..
This Convair 990A started out as N5607 with American Airlines in February 1962. It went on to Modern Air Transport in April 1967 as N5607 (later reregistered N5624), then to Nomads Travel Club as N990E in August 1975 and finally Galaxy Airlines and Christ is the Answer, still as N990E. Broken up at Fort Lauderdale (FL) during 1990-1991. (Sources: scramble.nl, rzjets.net)
