SK MD80/90 at DEN 5/10
Hi.
I was flying through DEN last week and noticed a half-painted SK MD80/90 parked mid-field. It had the "new" SK paint job, but the tail "SAS" was partially painted over. Any idea what it was doing in DEN?

According to www.sasflightops.com this was Balder Viking. "out of operation and returned to owner"
It looks like all the MD-83s are gone.

You guys rock. That's the plane. It's funny they talk about it being "in the way" at DEN. When I saw it, it was parked in between the rows of fixed de-icing booms. That's as out of the way as it gets in DEN in the summer.
