So nun Teil zwei der Facts:

 

 

Gestern wurde die Boeing 737-505 von Stavanger nach Riga geflogen.

 

Es ist übrigens die ex LN-BRJ, die jetzt als YL-BBB registriert worden ist. Die Maschine wurde komplett weiß mit blauen Engine-Cowls abgeliefert. Bis gestern abend waren noch keine Titel oder Logos aufgebracht.

 

Zum Service Entry hab ich noch keine Infos. Aber die Maschine soll ausschließlich auf Kopenhagen-Riga eingesetzt werden.

 

Vielen Lufthanseaten dürfte diese Maschine noch als D-ACBC in Erinnerung sein.
