N107WA Douglas DC-10-30CF World Airways MIA 22APR00
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 16-Jan-25.
Fleet No: "107".
Completed in Mar-79, this aircraft was built as a DC-10-30CF with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to World Airways as N107WA in May-79.
As well as operating it's own charter flights and US Government contracts, World Airways was a major ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance) lessor operating for other airlines.
The aircraft was sold to Mitsui Finance in Mar-87 and leased back to World. They bought it back in Dec-89, then sold it again, this time to DPF Airleases in Jan-91 and leased it back.
It was used on Haj Pilgrimage flights for Malaysia Airlines between Sep/Oct-81, Jul/Sep-85, Jul/Sep-86 and Jun/Aug-89. World also operated Haj Pilgrimage flights for Garuda Indonesia Airlines between Jul/Sep-90 and Jun/Aug-91.
Between Jun/Aug-92 World operated a Haj Pilgrimage for Malaysia Airlines again and then for Garuda again between Apr/Jul-93. It operated for Malaysia Airways again between Apr/Jun-94. It was wet-leased to Malaysia Airways again in Apr-95.
I'm not sure but that may have been a lease to MASkargo as a freighter, it returned to World Airways in Apr-96. The aircraft was permanently retired at Dothan, AL, USA in Jan-03 and was eventually broken up there in mid 2006.
