This aircraft was delivered to TWA Trans World Airlines as N1070T in Aug-67. It was returned to the Douglas Airplane Company in Jan-80 and leased to Sunstream Aircraft the following month.

 

It returned to Douglas in Mar-81 and was stored at Long Beach, CA, USA until it was sold to Midway Airlines in Jun-81. Midway sold the aircraft to Great American Airways in Apr-91, they sold it to Target Airways in Sep-91 and leased it back.

 

It was returned to Target Airways in Feb98 and immediately sold to Express Tours Inc. They leased it to AVIACSA Mexico as XA-TJS later the same month. After 35 years in service it was permanently retired at Mexico City in Dec-02 and broken up there around 2005.
