127. N9718C Lockheed L1049E Super Constellation Capitol International Airways PMI 17SEP67

            Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 28-Jan-15.

With additional 'Berliner Flug Ring' titles

Originally built as an L1049C ordered by Braathens SAFE, Norway, the order was cancelled and the aircraft was delivered new to QANTAS as VH-EAJ in Jun-54 and converted to L1049E standard.

It was sold back to the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in Jan-60 as N9718C.  It was leased to Twentieth Century Airlines the following month and returned to Lockheed in Jan-61.

It was leased to Capitol International Airways in Feb-61 and they bought it in December that year.  The aircraft was operated on behalf of German Travel Company / Tour Operator 'Berliner Flug Ring' between 1966/67.  Capitol operated it until Jul-72 when it was sold to California Airmotive and stored at Sebring, Florida.

It was sold to Midair Inc and ferried to Barstow, California, in Apr-73.  The aircraft was due to be converted to (fire fighting ?) tanker configuration but that didn't happen and it was broken up at Barstow in 1974/75.

Taken on: September 17, 1967
