Former Sabena Boeing 737-329 first to fly for Adam Air

Post by OO-SBZ »

Former Sabena Boeing 737-329 OO-SDX (23773 1441) is to fly for Indonesian start-up carrier Adam.

She made her maiden-flight on 15/09/1987 and started her Sabena-life on 15/09/1987. As a result, she wore two liveries.

In november 2001, SDX was 'Crying together with Swissair' in the aftermath of both airlines' collapse.

She spend some time in Brussels as a white bird. In August 2002, she departed Belgium for her new user in Germany: "DBA". OO-SDX was then D-ADID

In April 2004, it as "Auf wiedersehen DBA"... and the bird was unemployed and white again as N773CT. In September this sleeping beauty got a new livery... and hopefully a new long lease of life!

Nice to see OO-SDX flying again. When we flew on it on 2001 I remember it had Sobelair seat back covers. That was the only -300 I ever went on out of all the 737s I've flown in.
Sabena and Sobelair - gone but never forgotten.
