I'm suprised, but according to
Airfleets Elal was operating a MDII from Jul 1998-Jan 1999, I also a found a picture of the aircraft in Elal colours in
Zurich and
LAX (In those days they seemed to paint aircaft in Elal colours even if the aircraft was only operating for 6 months, while nowdays things seem very different).
Anybody have any info on this aircraft, and why they were operating this plane for these months? The aircraft seemed to stay registered in the US (you can see the US registration in the picture).
Anybody actually flew on this aircraft?
