Syrian Arab Airlines (Syrian Air)
YK-AFB is taxiing past the viewing terrace to runway 07 for take-off. The aircraft wears Syrian Air’s initial colour scheme.
Syrian Air Caravelles were a frequent sight at Munich-Riem in the 1970s. I have an overview of scheduled flights at MUC for winter 1972/1973 which shows Syrian Air flights on Tuesdays from LON to ATH-DAM (RB 406) and on Thursdays from DAM-NIC to PAR (RB 404) and from PAR to ATH-DAM (RB 410).
First flight 1966-06-23, delivered to Syrian Air 1966-06-30, wfu DAM 1996. (Source: rz.jets.net)
The aircraft was moved from DAM to Latakia, Syria, sometime after 2009 and placed on the beach there. Its remains with the wings cut off can still be seen on Google Maps in October 2023:

"Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies" - After the Gold Rush, Neil Young
