Remarks: Manufactured summer 1990. First flight August 22 with Boeing’s N6018N test registration. Delivered Aeromaritime International September 28 as F-GHGE, the to Air France October 1 1990. Between May 15 1992 and March 10 1999 BALKAN leased with the same registration. “Preslav” seen here taxiing in to her stand in the very busy Jan Smuts airport, after a very long flight from Sofia, while Cathay Pacific's old fashioned 747-467 is on boarding for a return flight to Hong Kong, and British Airways 747-436 is just took-off for London-Heathrow. As 767-300s could be considered as nontraditional type for Air France, they sold it to EL AL nearly instantly on her arrival back from BALKAN. Since April 2 1999 this beauty is operated by the Israeli national carrier as 4X-EAF. Scanned from an old slide.
