Flew the bird on 21jun89 to Palma (as pax..not cargo ) in Qantas-colours with Martinair-titles.

Ben ook met deze machine naar Palma geweest alsmede ook naar Tenerife en nog een keer naar Malaga en dat in volgorde van:
Palma in 1989 en 1990
Tenerife in 1991
En Malaga in 1997 en dat allemaal in de zomermaanden..
Van Malaga ben ik niet helemaal zeker omdat de "Prins van Oranje" toen ook nog vloog..
