The 3 Amigos - Fins 687/689/690.

The aircraft are 767-3YO's.

687 was built for Spanair in 1991 and acquired by AC in 2002.

689/690 were built for Asiana in 1993 and flew for Iberia, Kenya, and acquired by AC in 2005.

I can only assume that 3 Amigos was the nickname given these aircraft given the Spanair/Spanish connection - fin 687, being the first of this type acquired.

The 2 A-319's recently returned from Mexicana will probably be known as "Los Dos Bambinos" .
