Most likely 9Q-COP, a 727-100 with winglets. It was due to go back into service, I was told early this year by a HBA technician. I saw it last active in May 2010 and in MX in Kinshasa last February. All other 727-200s (9Q-CHD, -CHE, -CHF and -CHG) were standing wfu at N'Djili while I doubt that 727-100F (9Q-CHK) has returned into service.
