This aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa as D-ABFC in Dec-80. It was sold to JetsVentures and sold to Ryanair as EI-CNT in Dec-96.

 

It was sold to AutoDirect Aviation Inc as N115AD in Oct-05 and leased to LAN Airlines (Chile) as CC-CQQ the following week. The aircraft was returned to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest as N215AG in May-08 and was stored at Jakarta-CGK, Indonesia.

 

It was repainted in Adam Air livery the following month but the lease didn't happen and it remained stored until it was leased to RUTACA Venezuela as YV379T in Nov-08.

 

The aircraft was withdrawn from use and permanently retired at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela in Nov-11 after 31 years in service.
