McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (DC-9-82)

Photographer’s remark

HK-4374X Many thanks to SOUTHAMERICA for the great time in this nice Colombian city: MEDELLIN.Last July 7th when I was waiting for my trip from MDE to BOG This latest WEST Aruba baby was a very nice surprise in their new livery. Sadly 1 month later, on August 16th, an WEST charter flight with 158 passengers (mainly from Martinique) and 8 Colombian crew enroute from Panama to Martinique, crashed near the town of Machiques, about 100 miles (161 km) southwest of Maracaibo, Venezuela.; killing all 160 people on board. My sympathy goes to the passengers, crew and their families. May they rest in peace!
