VH-RMD Boeing 727-177
(c/n 18844)
Greg Banfield captured -RMD departing Mascot on 27
February 1977. Hard to believe that was
35 years ago now (2012). It was
delivered to the airline in August of 1965. In August of
1969
it was the first 727
to acquire the (then) new 'Ansett Airlines of Australia' titling and
livery. Sold by
Ansett Transport
Industries in July 1979, it was acquired (via brokers International Air
Leases) by
Transbrasil Linhas Aereas
as PT-TCC. A decade later, in December 1989 it went to
Corsair, Inc
as N133CA. In the 1990s it was leased to various
Peruvian outfits and was noted as late as 2005
in poor condition stored in Lima. It apparently
never did receive an OB- rego.
