Trans Air's N810TA

Trans Air is taking delivery of their fourth 737-200F with N810TA (c/n 21116, l/n 427), this afternoon. The 737-275F is making its delivery flight from MNL to HNL (via GUM and MAJ).

21116 was originally delivered to Pacific Western Airlines [PW/PWA] (Canada) in October 1975 as C-GDPW (f/n 742) in the Combi configuration. It was transferred to Canadian Airlines International fleet in April 1987, when the two airlines merged. In November 1995, it was leased to Canair [CWW] (Canada), by POLA. In August 1997, POLA leased it to Royal Aviation Express [RXP] (Canada). In April 1999, it was converted to a full freighter, and acquired by Transmile Air Services [TH/TSE] (Malaysia) as 9M-PML. During its time with Transmile, it was also painted in the DHL logo jet livery, the Poslaju National Courier livery, and a basic livery. In July 2014, Trans Air took ownership of 21116, registered it as N810TA, but was placed in storage at MNL, until a few months ago

RIP after taking a swim in the Pacific just off HNL - July 2 2021.
Both crew members were rescued by the USCG.

I probably flew this A/C when it was with PW or CP.
