Not the most exciting of months, though my lack of records of interesting traffic may have been influenced by approaching exams! Aeroamerica's assorted Boeing 720s, plus their sole BAC 1-11, provided the interest on the maintenance front. N302AS was a former Alaska Airlines example acquired as a spares source, and Ralf Manteufel captured it arriving at Tempelhof some weeks later, on its final flight. Photo at THF
Eagle Air (Arnarflug) was a new operator and would last for several years. TF-VLA was its first 720 and a pure-jet example which had last been operated by Air Viking, a short-lived Icelandic airline.
