5N-FGN ¦ ZRH 28.01.2000

            Boeing B.727-2N6 (c/n 22825/1805)
Federal Government of Nigeria
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
28 January 2000

This B.727-200 was built for the Nigerian government in 1982, and was delivered as 5N-AGY that same year. By late 1988, it had become 5N-FGN, and sometime after it was converted to a Valsan Super 27, receiving larger and more quiet JT8D-217C/219 side engines, and a hush kit for no.2 engine, thereby losing its thrust reverser. Additional winglets were installed to reduce noise at lower speeds.

As such 5N-FGN was seen parked at holding bay 10, after bringing in the Nigerian delegation for the 2000 WEF the previous day. Also note the 001 on the nosewheel door, referring to the number one aircraft in the Nigerian government fleet of that time. Subsequently flight no. NGR001 was used.

In 2007 the Super 27 was sold to South Africa, and by 2017 it was flying with Peter Nygard Ventures in the US. It was retired in mid-2017 at Brunswick, GA, and broken up there, although its US marks were cancelled in 2019 as exported to Bermuda!
