N872SJ visits Shannon

This week saw two visits by Murray Air Dc8 registered N872SJ. The aircraft is a Dc8-71F msn 46040 and has a long and varied history as would be expected of an aircraft. Originally delivered to United airlines as N8096U it subsequently served with Tampa Colombia, MAS Air Florida West and Southern Air before joining Murray Air. It became N872SJ in July 1998. Until several months ago the aircraft operated in an anonymous white scheme before taking up the colours of Murray Air's owner National Airlines. Pictured above N872SJ is seen on finals to R24 this morning.
