Shalom Aharon, and Shana Tova!

 

Great shots - lovely to see this nostalgic old plane again. (That colour scheme shows the plane was on lease to Liat from Courtline Aviation based in Luton, UK.  Went bust forever ago!)

 

Scenery looks great too.

 

Toni.

Court Line went broke on my night shift, August 14, 1974. In UK's winter we sent an aircraft and pilots to LIAT for their summer flying, and in their winter/our summer the aeroplane came back with LIAT cabin crew, for the UK summer season.
