N750RA ¦ ENV 08.10.1995

            McDonnell Douglas MD-87 (c/n 49777/1634)
Great American Airways
Wendover (ENV/KENV)
08 October 1995

This 1989-model MD-87 flew with Midway Airlines, TAESA in Mexico, Private Jet Expeditions and Reno Air before joining the fleet of Great American Airways as N750RA in August 1995.

As such it was seen parked an Wendover in an all-white scheme, most probably taking a rest after bringing in a casino party. Wendover is uniqe as it is sitting right on the Utah/Nevada state border, where Wendover is in Utah, and West Wendover is in Nevada. With the latter state legalizing gambling in the thirties, West Wendover holds a number of casinos attractive to Utah - and other state - residents, where gambling is probhibited.

Wendover airport itself is in Utah state, and is infamous for being the base of the 509th Composite Group during WWII, who flew the Enola Gay, a B-29 bomber, over to Japan on 06 August 1945 to drop a nuclear bomb over the town of Hiroshima, and was also involved two days later in bombing Nagasaki. Today Wendover is mostly a GA airport, with an occasional casino flight.

N750RA continued service with Great American until 1998, and then flew with Spirit Airlines until 2002, before becoming VP-CTF with AMAC Aerospace in 2009. In 2024 it was registered in the USA as N805ML, but its whereabouts are currently unknown.
