OY-API Manchester Airport 2006

Maersk Air Boeing 737-500 OY-API decelerates on Runway 24R at Manchester Airport during the summer of 2006.

 

It is my personal opinion but I very much preferred this livery to Maersk Air's final livery. Maybe it is the soothing shades of blue or just that full body colourschemes are sadly a thing of the past in favour of more "Eurowhite" liveries...

 

Delivered new to Maersk Air in March 1997 the aircraft stayed with the airline through its merger into Sterling Airlines in 2005 before moving to Dniproavia as UR-DND in January 2008. It moved to Ukraine International Airlines in April 2013 as UR-GBC and returned to the United States as N709S in June 2017 and is still in active service with Sierra Pacific Airlines.
