Created last month as an entry to the Asteroids category of this year's Space Jam contest! This is the setting of the fourth mainline Metroid title, Metroid Fusion. I wonder if this year is in any way significant to the franchise...
Red marker leftover from an intense January weekend on the subway (?)
Still can't believe I missed Cousin Benny in the background until I was uploading this years later :O

N88CH
Convair 880M (22M-22)

Jet Aviation (Carl Hirschmann)
N88CH, a surprise visitor on a May Wednesday in 1977, is heading to runway 07 with a black cloud of smoke behind. The Convair 880 was a very rare type at Riem, but in the 1970s we had three of them here: N88CH in 1977 plus Airtrust Singapore’s N48059 and N48062 on Air Malta flights in 1978.
Delivered to Japan Air Lines as JA8022 on 1 September 1961. Sold to Cathay Pacific Airways as VR-HGF on 1 July 1970. To Jet Aviation as N88CH in February 1976 and converted to VIP transport. Ended up in South Africa at the Morganville Motorcycle Museum near Kei Mouth and apparently still there in 2022:
This is one of three complete CV880s still in existence. The other two are c/n 35 N815AJ stored at Mojave Airport, CA, and c/n 38 N880EP preserved at Graceland, Memphis, TN.
Detailed history of this airframe from tonymadgehjg.proboards.com:

Sold to CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS (VR-HGF) on July 1st 1970 and operated by the airline until September 15th 1975. Sold to INTERNATIONAL AIR LEASES INC (N88CH) on September 16th 1975 and ferried to Miami/Florida/USA on September 20th 1975, then placed into storage. Sold to JET AVIATION (N88CH) on February 27th 1976 and converted to a VIP transport configuration at Basle/Switzerland. Sold to HIRSCHMANN CORP (N88CH) during 1976 where it remained until January 1978 when it was stored at Newburg/New York/USA. Sold to ORCHESTER INC (N88CH) April 5th 1978 then to TRIPLE D CORPORATION (N88CH) on January 31st 1979. Sold to SENTINEL JETS LTD (N88CH) during March 1979. Sold to CC PETIT/LIGONAIR (N88CH "Starship 2") during October 1981 and was seized at McArthur Airport/Islip/New York/USA for non-payment of tie-down fees (it had been abandoned there by the rock group Jefferson Starship after they were not paid for performing a concert in Long Island). Sold to CHAD KOPPIE (N88CH .... no date). Re-acquired by LIGONAIR (N88CH .... no date). Sold to the GOVERNMENT OF CISKEI (N88CH during July 1987 for use as a luxury presidential/government/VIP transport during July and ferried to Bulembu/South Africa via Miami, Barbados, Cape Verde, and Abidjan on July 15th 1987 but it never acquired a South African civil aviation operating certificate/license. Sold to BILLY NEL on October 16th 1991 per South African Transportation Department auction and was transported to Bonza Bay, East London, South Africa and converted to serve as a private retreat/bar/restaurant named "Pinnochio"; since moved to Morgan Bay/East London/South Africa and titled "Eish Airlines". Apparently Billy NEL was a Republic of Ciskei govenment Ministry of Finance executive. As the story goes NEL apparently had the intestinal fortitude to "just drive onto the airport at Bulembu, seize the aircraft, and literally tow it away, down the N2 motorway, to his private farm".
