JA8534 2 Douglas DC-10-40 JAL Japan Airlines KIX 11JUL01

            Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 14-Sep-22 (DeNoise AI).

This aircraft was a standard DC-10-40, known as a DC-10-40i (International) by Japan Airlines to differentiate it from the DC-10-40D (Domestic).  The DC-10-40D operated with the centre undercarriage leg locked in the retracted position and using lower maximum take-off and landing weights, similar to the DC-10-10.

First flown in Jul-75 with the Douglas test registration N54652, this aircraft was the first DC-10-40 for JAL and was used as a test airframe.  It was delivered as a DC-10-40i to JAL Japan Airlines as JA8534 in Nov-76.

It was sold to JAA Japan Asia Airways in Nov-86.  The aircraft was leased back to Japan Airlines in Apr-91, returning to JAA in Apr-92.  It was leased to JAL again between Jul-93 and May-94 and was sold back to JAL in May-97.

When Japan Airlines separated into Domestic and International divisions in Apr-04, this aircraft was transferred to Japan Airlines International.  After 28 years in service, the aircraft was sold to Vivaldi Overseas as N913VV in Nov-04.

The aircraft was stored at Marana, AZ, USA the same month and was permanently retired, it was last noted still there in Jul-11 and was subsequently broken up.
