Germany


DE-4546598

Condor

This is an old card for a Boing 747 from Condo, a German airline.  Condo no longer flies 747s.  This plane is listed as registration D-ABYF.  This plane apparently flew for Condo from 1971 through about 1979 or 1980. At that time it and another Boeing 747 from Condor, D-ABYH, were sold to Korean Air Lines in 1980.  In 1983, D-ABYH was shot down by the Soviets as Korean Air Lines Flight 007.  

The former D-ABYF featured in this card, according to various sources was eventually scrapped in 1996.
