N8409 B707-323C American Airlines

N8409 B707-323C American Airlines
AA9119 taxies out at Shannon 19/07/1980.

Unlike today, American Airlines did not operate scheduled services to European airports at the time so it was quite a rare visitor. As far as I recall it was operating a cargo service for Aer Lingus.
This 707 was subsequently sold to MEA -Middle East Airlines as OD-AHB in 1982 but was destroyed on the ground at Beirut during shelling of the airport in January 1987.
