Spanair McDonnell Douglas MD-82 EC-HFT Sunspirit (14242)

Spanair McDonnell Douglas MD-82 EC-HFT is entering runway 18 for an intersection departure.

It carries the typical Spanish name "Sunspirit". ;-)

This is flight JK126 to Madrid.

You can see line number 1690 of all DC-9/MD-80/-90 built aircraft. It was delivered to China Eastern 30.04.91 as B-2137, had the registration EI-CTF beginning 05.99 and went into service for Spanair 07.08.99.

This is one of nine MD-82 that Spanair was operating until today (20.08.08) - one of them (EC-HFP) was involved into a severe accident in Madrid Barajas (flight JK5022) that has caused a terrible death toll of more than 150 passengers and crew members.
