Delivered to Irish Aerospace Ltd (leasing) as EI-CER in Apr-92, this aircraft was immediately leased to Avianca Colombia. It was returned to the lessor in Nov-09 as N125MN and stored at Miami, Fl, USA.
In Jan-10 it was leased to UFly Airways although I'm not certain it was ever operated. It was back with the lessor by Apr-10 and was leased to Falcon Air Express later that month.
Falcon Air Express bought it in Mar-14 and presumably failed to keep up the payments as it was repossessed in May-15 and stored at Lakeland, FL, USA.
It was sold to Arctic One LLC in Jul-15 and remained stored at Lakeland. It was sold to Everts Air Cargo in Mar-16 and permanently retired. Used for spares. Never entered service. Updated 09-May-25.
Crossair MD-83 HB-IUH prepares to land at Heathrow at a time when the national carrier of Switzerland was still in transition. In October 2001, Crossair had been sold by Swissair to banks UBS and Credit Suisse, and the airline was renamed 'Swiss'. However, my photo shows that in June 2002, the Crossair brand was still showing.
As for the indivdual aircraft, well, 'IUH has already featured in my photostream in all-over red McDonalds livery, and as at 11th May 2025 it is still flying for Kish Air in Iran as EP-LCO.
