Registration: 5Y-BMW
Construction Number: 18255
The Aero Zambia 727 was damaged at Asmara by a fuel truck in May 1998. While awaiting repair, the airplane was strafed by a MiG fighter during a raid on June 5th and damaged by small calibre gun fire. Wiring damage behind the cockpit was such that the whole area needed to be re-wired. It was decided not to repair the plane, instead it was purchased by International Air Parts and was stripped of the engines and other parts. The aircraft was then towed for three kilometers to Asmara Expo Park. It now wears Training Mockup titles.
