First flown with the Boeing test registration N1788B, this aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa and leased to Condor Flugdienst as D-ABUE in Oct-93.
From the late 1990's, the UK's Thomas Cook Group had gradually been buying up Lufthansa's shares in Condor until they became the majority shareholder in early 2002.
Condor Flugdienst was renamed Thomas Cook Airlines Germany in Mar-02. Unfortunately most the German public didn't know who Thomas Cook was and the holiday booking suffered.
Thomas Cook added 'Powered by Condor' titles to the rear fuselages but it didn't really help and in Jun-04 they gave in and the airline was re-named Condor Flugdienst again. Although the standard Thomas Cook Group livery was retained. Blended winglets were added in Jul-09.
In Apr-20 at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, this aircraft became a 'Preighter' with most of the economy seating removed. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Hahn, Germany in Nov-20 and returned to service as a passenger aircraft in Apr-21.
After 30 years in Condor service the aircraft was stored at Frankfurt, Germany in Sep-23. It was ferried to Wilmington, OH, USA in Dec-23 for further storage and was sold to CAM Cargo Aircraft Management Inc in Feb-24.
The aircraft was moved to Tel Aviv, Israel in Aug-24 to await cargo conversion. It was converted to full freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door in Mar-25 and returned to Dothan, AL, USA, presumably for painting for it's new operator. Updated 26-Mar-25.

First flown in Jan-09 with the Airbus test registration F-WWSC, the aircraft was ferried to the Airbus airfield at Hamburg-Finkenwerder for interior fitting out and painting.
It was delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SKI in Jul-09. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Singapore at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mar-20.
It was moved to Alice Springs, Australia in Apr-20 for continued long term storage. The aircraft never re-entered service and was broken up at Singapore in Nov-22.
The 1st 50-year chapter of my journey was special, as the 2nd 50-year chapter begins, with age comes wisdom & my appreciation for humility. ❤️ D.O.B. 10/30/1974 ☘️💚
