YL-LCY arrives in Shannon for paint

Former Aer Lingus B767-3Y0ER EI-CAL, msn 24952 made it back to Shannon this evening. Delivered to Aer Lingus in March 1991, the aircraft has been around the block a few times since serving with Air Aruba, TWA, Air Canada and SAS among others. 
What arrived tonight was a bit of a cocktail - an aircraft in basic Virgin Nigeria colours with Kabo Air titles in a Latvian registration - YL-LCY - operated by Smartlynx with an American crew ! The aircraft is to be painted for it's next life with SBA formerly known as Santa Barbara Airlines. Pictured above, flight number ART 105 prepares to touchdown on R24.
