Spantax
Only 37 CV-990s were manufactured, and Spantax made sure that we would regularly see this rare type at Riem in the 1970s and into the 1980s. EC-BTE had only been delivered to Spantax in March 1970 and was still fairly new with the carrier when this photo was taken. The livery with a broad white stripe under the blue cheatline slightly differs from the later Spantax standard colours, and the aircraft is still lacking the red Spantax logo on the nose.
Delivered new to American Airlines in March 1962 as N5609 (a registration later used for Boeing 727-51 c/n 18806/188 from 1978). Went on to Modern Air Transport as N5609 in February 1967 (leased to Nordair from 1968 to 1969) and finally to Spantax as EC-BTE in March 1970. Wfu at PMI in October 1981 and b/u in 1991.

Information from flickr - thanks to Kerry Taylor:
Delivered to Delta as N3304L on 18Sep65. To Spantax as EC-CGZ on 23Feb74. To Emerald Air as N932EA on 11Feb84. Merged into Braniff on 15Jun91. Stored at Opa Locka Oct91. To Air Margarita as YV-830C on 30Jan93. To Allegro Airlines as XA-SNR on 17Mar94. It crashed on landing in Tampico Mexico on 14May96 and was written off. No fatalities.
Additional information from flickr - thanks to Sentinel28a1:
N3304L was an early DC-9-10 version, and as Delta's passenger numbers soared in the mid-1960s, the "Short 9" was not big enough for the airline's needs. The Series 10s were sold off to Southern Airways in favor of longer versions, and N3304L joined her sisters in Southern's livery in 1973. It was not with Southern for long before it departed for the sunny Mediterranean and Spantax in 1974. It remained with Spantax for a decade, then was bounced between several airlines--Emerald Air, the briefly relaunched Braniff, Air Margarita, and finally Allegro Airlines of Mexico. Now registered as XA-SNR, it was badly damaged in an emergency landing at Tampico in 1994, enough to be written off and scrapped. Delta learned of the fate of N3304L/XA-SNR, however, and was able to save the tail of this iconic aircraft for eventual display at the Delta Flight Museum.

Information from airliners.net - thanks to Ian Gains:
Built in 1962, this Coronado served with SAS and Swissair until 1975 when she joined several of this type at Spantax. They provided inclusive tour flights until well into the 1980's - this example was parked in 1983, and eventually broken up in 1994. The Coronado was a sight to behold, pumping black smoke out of her 4 screaming jets - once seen, never forgotten.

Boeing 707-138(B)
17696 / 29
Pacific Western Airlines (PWA)
A legendary aircraft at Riem - the first of seven Boeing 707-138s ordered new by Qantas, and the 3rd Boeing airliner delivered new to Qantas. Nowadays preserved as VH-XBA at the Qantas Founders Outback Museum, Longreach, where it arrived on its last flight from Sydney on 10 June 2007. It had been flown from Southend to Sydney from 8 December 2006 to 16 December 2006 with stops at DUB, TFS, BDA, MCO, LAX, HNL and NAN.
Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
c/n 17696 (l/n 29) Boeing 707-138B - the first 707 for Qantas, delivered as VH-EBA in Jul 1959. The aircraft flew with Qantas until 1967, and was then sold to Pacific Western Airlines as CF-PWV, later C-FPWV. Some eleven years later, the aircraft was sold again as N138TA to Tigerair, and in 1984 to Airnark Corporation as N220AM. Re-registered as N138MJ in 1986, the aircraft was sold again as HZ-123 to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. The aircraft was stored at Southend in 1999, and was eventually restored as VH-XBA with the Qantas Foundation Memorial Museum, arriving back in Australia on 10th June, 2007.

United Arab Airlines (UAA)
Here’s something special: My sister and I in front of SU-ALE on 10 or 11 February 1970 following the crash on 9 February, picture taken by my father.
SU-ALE had been delivered to United Arab Airlines in December 1960. It crashed ten years later at Riem.
Due to buffeting, the takeoff had to be rejected at a height of 30 feet. The aircraft landed back, overran the runway, struck through a fence and only came to halt a short distance before the first houses. The undercarriage was torn off and a small fire started, but was quickly extinguished. All 23 occupants were evacuated safely, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and must have been scrapped at Riem (I’ve never seen any reports on that). (Details taken from aviation-safety.net and baaa-acro.com.)

Stephan Barth’s notes:
D-ICAY, Lear24D-254, built in 1972. From 08/72 to 1977 in service for the Schickedanz family (founders of catalog retailer Quelle Versand). The next owner Triumph-Adler had the aircraft re-registered as D-CCAT (2) following an increase in the permissible total weight. Sold to Brazil via the US in 1981, the last known registration was PT-LCV. Not seen after 1994 and probably b/u.

PH-CHB came to Riem that day to pick up injured Dutch skiers from Austria together with Martinair DC-9 PH-MAX. The aircraft had been delivered only about four months before in December 1978 and had visited Riem before on 7 and 14 January 1979. It’s wearing a partly torn off Martinair sticker here.
Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
PH-CHB 'Birmingham' c/n 11138 - Fokker F-28-4000 - one of four F-28 Fellowships delivered new to NLM City Hopper in 1979. The aircraft flew with NLM until the airline merged with KLM in 1990, and continued with KLM until 1996. The aircraft was then leased to Ostrava Air as OK-IEL, but soon sold to Merpati Nusantara as PK-MSW, before ending up sold to Air Mauritanie as 5T-CLH in 1999. By the mid 2000s the aircraft was withdrawn from use.

This Tupolev was delivered to Balkan Bulgarian Airlines in April 1974 and went on to Hemus Air in 1991. Wfu at SOF in 2001, but some parts apparently remained near a lake at Ravno-Pole until at least 2012. (Source: scramble.nl)

SE-FOX
Vickers 814 Viscount

Skyline Sweden
SE-FOX was noted at Riem on 2 November 1976. She only flew with Skyline Sweden from September 1975 to October 1977. This is the only report I have of SE-FOX at Riem (sister ship SE-FOY visited more often in 1976, 1977 and 1978). However, this Viscount was previously D-ANAD with Lufthansa and will have made regular appearances at the airport as such between 1959 and 1971.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
This Viscount began her European career with Lufhansa as D-ANAD in 1.59 and joined BMA as G-BAPD in 2.72. Skyline bought her in 9.75 but she returned to BMA in 10.77. By 9.78 she was wfu at EMA, being broken up in 1.79.
One outer wing was later fitted to Viscount G-AZLT (C/N 349) during a major overhaul following a landing accident. (Source: vickersviscount.net) G-AZLT was then re-registered as G-BMAT, and G-BMAT was photographed at Riem with British Midland Airways in the early 1980s.

This airframe had visited Riem before as G-ATZC with Caledonian on 22 August 1972 and would be seen here as C-GFLG with Worldways Canada in November 1983.
Detailed information from flick - thanks Ken Fielding:
Originally ordered by British Eagle International Airlines as G-ATZC, the order was cancelled and Boeing leased it to Airlift International in Apr-67 as N737AL, Airlift International bought it in Jun-68. In Apr-70 it was leased to Transavia Holland as PH-TRW. However, they only operated it for 2 months and it was returned to Airlift International in Jun-70. The following month, Jul-70, they sold it to Caledonian Airways. At the end of Nov-70 BUA British United Airways merged into Caledonian Airways which was renamed Caledonian//BUA (the titles hadn't been amended on this aircraft when the photo was taken in Jan-71). The 'BUA' was dropped in Sep-71 and the company became British Caledonian Airways. It was wet-leased to Biman Bangladesh for a Haj Pilgrimage operation between Nov-75 and Jan-76. The aircraft continued in service with B.Cal until it was sold to Worldways Canada in Nov-81 as C-GFLG. It was sold to Boeing in Feb-86 and immediately leased to Transbrasil as PT-TCP. Transbrasil bought it in Feb-89 and it was leased to AeroBrasil Cargo in Jan-91. It was damaged beyond repair in an accident at Manaus, Brazil, on 26-Nov-92

Regular KLM flights sometimes brought aircraft in VIASA and Philippine Airlines colours to Riem, like PH-DTG on this occasion. PH-DTG was also seen at Riem the day before (15 April 1978), but otherwise I have no report of PH-DTG (or YV-134C) at Munich's old airport.
PH-DTG apparently was delivered in VIASA colours and never wore KLM colours (source: EHAM historical movements thread on the scramble messageboard).
Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
c/n 46556 - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 was delivered new to KLM as PH-DTG in April 1974, leased to Viasa Venezuela in 1977, and then sold to the airline in 1978 and re-registered as YV-134C. The aircraft flew with the airline for 20 years before being sold to Iberia as EC-GTB. Just two years later, in 2000, the aircraft flew back to the USA into storage, finally being broken up at Miami - Opa Locka in 2006.

Overseas National Airways (ONA)
N1032F was noted at Riem on 13 September 1975 and the year before, on 27 September 1974. ONA‘s DC-10s were among the first widebodies at Riem in the early 1970s along with those from THY, Swissair, KLM, Laker, and TIA.
First flight on 6 June 1974 and delivered to ONA on 26 September 1973. The aircraft was destroyed by fire at JFK after an aborted take-off due to birdstrike on 12 November 1975, only about two months after this photo was taken. There were no fatalities.
Further information from heathrow junkie:
The ONA DC10s seemed to be jinxed, as four were written off either with the airline, or when sold to other airlines:
N1031F w/o with Saudia in 1975
N1032F w/o with ONA in 1975
N1033F w/o with Korean Airlines as HL7339 in 1983
N1034F w/o with Spantax as EC-DEG in 1982

Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
F-GBBS c/n 11050 - Fokker F-28-1000 was delivered new to Germanair as D-AGAC in Apr 1972. After a lease to Itavia in 1976-77, the aircraft was sold to TAT (Touraine Air Transport) as F-GBBS in Dec 1977. The aircraft transferred to another French regional airline Air Littoral in 1994, which merged with Air Liberte three years later. In 1998, the aircraft was sold again, to Canadian Regional Airlines as C-GYCR transferring to Air Canada Regional in 2001. A year later, the aircraft was on the move again, this time to Jazz Air, but was withdrawn later that year and stored at J G Diefenbaker International airport, Saskatoon - fate unclear. Thirty years of flying service!

Lockheed L-749A Constellation
2675
Royal Air Maroc (RAM)
Here’s something very special. This Constellation was noted at Riem on 13 (or 14) September 1969 as a surprise visitor. I’ve been told that the photo was taken by Jürgen Lang. René Dannies very kindly provided it from his collection and allowed me to post it here.
This Constellation made its first flight on 18 July 1951. It was delivered to Air France at ORY on 11 August 1951 as F-BBDT "Champs-Élysées". On 30 January 1960, it was sold to Royal Air Maroc and registered CC-CCN. Withdrawn from use on 1 July 1970, the aircraft was then used as a training airframe by the Royal Air Maroc Centre de Formation Professionnelle at Anfa Airport, Casablanca, restored 2004-2005 and displayed at Anfa in RAM livery. Still noted there in January 2020.
Here’s an article on the RAM training complex at Anfa:

Another early DC-10 visitor to Riem, seen only a few days after the first visit of the type on 23 December 1973 with THY's TC-JAV. Britannia B737 and two Bavaria One-Elevens in the background. I also like the ground equipment, in particular the Fina VW van and the Ford Transit marshaller van.
Laker's DC-10s were among the first widebodies at Riem in the early 1970s along with those from THY, ONA, Swissair, KLM, Laker, and TIA.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Ian Gains:
G-AZZC was Laker Airways 1st DC-10, and the 1st DC-10 on the United Kingdom Civil Register. Built in 1972, she served with Laker for 10 years. In those years, DC-10-30's and A300's had joined their fleet, so she moved on to a plethora of carriers and home bases until the mid 1990's. She was eventually broken up at Marana, AZ in 1998.

Türk Hava Yolları (THY) - Turkish Airlines
This was the first visit of a DC-10 to München-Riem, THY’s ill-fated TC-JAV on 23 December 1972.
This was the second of three McDonnell Douglas DC-10 jetliners ordered by Turkish Airlines. The aircraft was manufactured in February 1972 for All Nippon Airways (first flight 15 February 1972 as N1337U). Since ANA had ordered the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar instead, the aircraft was leased by Turkish Airlines from Mitsui. It was delivered on 10 December 1972. TC-JAV crashed on 3 March 1974 near Ermenonville (France) after an explosive decompression due to an incorrect engagement of the cargo door latching mechanism before take-off. (Source: thy-heritage.com) There were 346 fatalities.

Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
N102TV c/n 46801 - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30CF was one of three aircraft delivered new to Trans International Airlines in 1973. The aircraft flew with the airline (and successor Transamerica) for over ten years, including a two year stint in 1983-84 leased out to Air Florida. The aircraft was then sold to Federal Express as N302FE and later converted to a pure freighter. Converted again to an MD-10F, the aircraft was still flying with FedEx in 2014.

YK-AHA "November 16"
Boeing 747SP-94
21174/284
Syrian Arab Airlines (Syrian Air)
YK-AHA is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 25 on a wintery day in March 1985.
A regular sight at Munich-Riem and later also at Munich's new FJS airport into the mid-2000s. From 1976-06-01, Syrian Air operated the B747SP every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday DAM-MUC-LHR and back.
Information from aussieairliners.org:
Syrian Arab Airlines placed an order for 2 Boeing 747SPs on December 06, 1974. Unlike most international airlines these two aircraft were to be used on the airline's medium range high density routes. Rolled out at Everett on March 23, 1976 with Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7A engines it was entered onto the Syrian Aircraft Register as YK-AHA. Although being the ninth SP to be built it was the eighth of its type to fly when it performed its maiden flight on April 15, 1976.
Accepted by Syrian Air at Paine Field on May 21, 1976 the aircraft was named 'November 16'. It entered service shortly thereafter mainly on the Damascus - London route. By November 1988 it had acquired a modified livery with an all-grey underside and was seen as such at London's Heathrow Airport and Munich.
The aircraft was repainted in 2003 and it was observed at London's Heathrow Airport on March 28, 2003 in the new livery. The aircraft was noted as being retired on December 01, 2007 and stored at Damascus with other Syrian Air aircraft.
Together with sister ship YK-AHB, YK-AHA was flown to Riyadh around 2011 for heavy maintenance with the intention to restore both aircraft to operation (source: 747sp.com), but apparently nothing came of the plans and both were scrapped around 2014.

YK-AHB seen up close carrying a fifth engine, parked on stand 2 or 3. I remember that these parking positions were mainly used for smaller airliners during the 1970s, but with increasing traffic the airport management apparently decided to put widebodies there as well.
Syrian Air B747SPs were a regular sight at Munich-Riem and later also at Munich's new FJS airport into the mid-2000s. From 1 June 1976, Syrian Air operated the B747SP every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday DAM-MUC-LHR and back.
YK-AHB was delivered to Syrian Air on 16 July 1976 and stayed with the airline all its life. Retired at DAM and stored there from April 2008, it was flown to RUH together with YK-AHA around 2011 for heavy maintenance.
The plans were to restore both aircraft to service (source: 747sp.com), but in fact they were broken up there around 2014.
The livery of Syrian Air’s 747SPs only underwent some minor changes through the years up to a major update in 2003.

Syrian Arab Airlines placed an order for 2 Boeing 747SPs on December 06, 1974. Unlike most international airlines these two aircraft were to be used on the airline's medium range high density routes.

Configured to seat 16 First Class and 308 Economy Class passengers it was accepted by Syrian Air at Paine Field on July 16, 1976. Named 'Arab Solidarity' the aircraft entered service shortly thereafter mainly operating regional flights from Damascus to major European cities.

München-Riem
March 1972
N11RV
Boeing 707-321
17606/107
International Controls Corporation/Robert Vesco
N11RV was noted at Riem on 16 March 1972 and also twice in July 1971.
This airframe has quite a history with connections to the Beatles, Robert Vesco, Elvis Presley and Ferdinand/Imelda Marcos! It was also the first Boeing 707 to land at Southend-on-Sea Rochford (SEN) airport (in 1971).
Following its first flight on 22 February 1960, this JT4A equipped 707-321 was delivered to Pan American World Airways as N728PA "Clipper Peerless" on 6 March 1960.
It flew the Beatles from LHR to LAX in August 1964, temporarily renamed "Jet Clipper Beatles".
The airframe was acquired by financial fraudster Robert Vesco’s International Controls Corporation as N11RV in June 1971 (reportedly, it was equipped with a sauna and discotheque).
Flying Magazine May 1978 claims that Elvis Presley retreated from a $1.5 million dollar deal with Vesco to purchase the jet because he didn’t want an airplane that might be seized if he flew it to a foreign country.
In any case, according to a New York Times report, the aircraft was spirited out of Panama (where it had been flown from Costa Rica) by Vesco’s ex-pilot Alwyn Eisenhauer to help satisfy a lien against Vesco. Eisenhauer talked his way onto the airplane at Tocumen International Airport where it had been impounded, paid the outstanding penalties and flew it to Newark via Mexico City and Miami in May 1974.
It had been registered to Skyways Leasing as N99WT in November 1973 and went back to Pan Am as N728PA in October 1975 to be stored at MIA.
Delivered to Air Manila International in April 1977 and operated for the Government of the Pilippines (the Marcos family), the airframe ended up as 'Club707' restaurant at Manila, Philippines, in October 1982, still noted 1995, and presumably broken up later.

München-Riem
February 1974
N747QC "Mont Hoyo"
Boeing 747-121
19639/2
Air Zaïre (leased from Pan Am)
Zairean President Mobutu spent some time in Germany on a private visit from 14 January to 11 February 1974. This was his ride. The aircraft was reported at Riem on 8 February 1974, but I think it stayed for a few days. Air Zaire DC-10-30 9Q-CLI was also present at Riem from 8 February to 10 February 1974.
Information from panam-world.org (slightly adapted):
C/n 19639 was the second 747 built and the first to enter commercial airline service, originally delivered to Pan Am on 3 October 1970 and named Clipper America. Pan Am leased this 747-121 to Air Zaire on 21 November 1973, who returned it off lease on 31 March 1975. This airliner also flew under the titles Clipper Sea Lark and Clipper Juan T. Trippe. In January 1988, the airframe was converted to Boeing 747-121 SCD specifications. Pan Am sold this airliner on 2 July 1990 to the General Electric Capital Corporation, and immediately leased it back. It was returned off lease on 5 December 1991. After being withdrawn from use in 1991, and placed in storage, it was leased to Kabo Air and Aeroposta. On 10 February 1995, this airliner was bought by the Wilmington Trust Company. Sold to South Korea and shipped there in pieces for use as a restaurant. Scrapped in 2010 but forward fuselage survived as part of a church at least until 2017.
The aircraft was involved in a take-off accident at SFO on 30 July 1971. Description of the accident:

This page is dedicated to the memory of Munich ramp spotter, Hallenmeister Mr. Norbert Kröpfl, and I’ve selected this photo as the 1,000th upload because it shows him in photographic action on the far left, with a colleague next to him and his trademark VW van on the right.
Many thanks to all the contributors to this page, in particular Stephan Barth, Michael Röser, Herwart Schneider and Michael Bernhard, as well as all the other generous and helpful people I have listed in the info section.
Also, many thanks to all the people viewing this page, so that it has reached almost a million views in under two years for less than a 1000 pictures till today.

N5601 taxiing to runway 07 for take-off on what looks like a summer day in 1971 or 1972. The last report I have of a Modern Air CV-990 at Riem is from 6 May 1973.
Convair CV-990 Coronados seen at Riem included those from Swissair and Modern Air in the early 1970s and then only Spantax, and - once - Nomads Travel Club in the mid to late 1970s. The Spantax ones were quite frequent visitors.
Coronados were notorious for their huge black exhaust plumes as illustrated by this photo (from DUS in 1974):
www.dusinfo.net/sp/large/5095.jpg
I think the engines were later modified and no longer emitted such black exhaust smoke.
This airframe was delivered new to American Airlines as N5601 in January 1963, sold to Middle East Airlines as OD-AFJ in September 1969 and to Modern Air Transport again as N5601 in December 1970. The last operator was Denver Ports of Call from August 1976. Used as a restaurant at Erie Air Park, CO, from 1980, the airframe was removed from there in 1996 for scrapping. (Source: scramble.nl)

Pan Am (Pan American World Airways)
Note: From January 1999, Pan Am operated Boeing 727-2J0 c/n 21106 / 1160 under the registration N362PA.
Pan Am’s 727s were used on the Internal German Services to Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s and seen daily at Riem. N362PA was one of the two first first two series -200 models operated by the airline and still an unusual sight in 1980.
N362PA, first flight 3 October 1979, had been built for Ozark Airlines, registered N721ZK and delivered to them on 25 October 1979, but did not enter service. Pan Am bought it along with a second Ozark 727-200 and took it over in February 1980. Sold to FedEx Express as N288FE in November 1993 and converted to freighter. Last flight to St. Louis Downtown Airport (CSE) on 19 April 2013 and donated to the airport as the centerpiece of a new training site. Still there in September 2019. (Sources: planelogger.com, rzjets.net, scramble.nl)
Information from yesterdaysairlines.com:
By 1980 the IGS routes (Internal German Services between Berlin and the rest of West-Germany) were still being served by Pan Am, using its 727-21s, and British Airways, using its One-Eleven 510Eds. Pan Am was looking at replacing its 727s with the larger series 200 Advanced and the airline was able to opportunistically source its first pair from Ozark Airlines. ... Both aircraft were transferred to the IGS and used to increase capacity on the Berlin-Frankfurt route. Re-registered N361PA and N362PA they became known as ‘Clipper Berlin’ and ‘Clipper Frankfurt’ respectively.

Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
Northwest and American Flyers operated this 1959 Electra before it was acquired by Shillelaghs in 1.72. In 1986 she was converted to a freighter and flown by TPI International until wfu and broken up at MIA 12.89. Shillelaghs Travel Club still exists and claims to have been the first such organisation with its own aircraft.

Rare shot of this aircraft in a mixed AeroAmerica/Egyptair colour scheme.
N793NA has just arrived at Riem on the regular Egyptair Friday evening flight, with ground equipment pulling up and a bus ready for disembarking passengers. This aircraft was observed at Riem several times on Egyptair flights in spring 1976 (26 March, 7 May, 14 May). It was also seen here in ca. 1970 as N793SA with Standard Airways and on 12 April 1973 as VP-BDE with Bahamas World on an Air France flight!
This airframe started out with Qantas in August 1959 as a Boeing 707-138 registered VH-EBE (converted to -138B standard in October 1961). VH-EBE was used for the Royal Flight from Christchurch to Canberra with HRH Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip on 18 February 1963. It went on to International Aerodyne as N793SA in May 1968 and was leased to Standard Airways (as N793SA), Pacific Western (CF-PWW), Alaska Airlines (N793SA) and Bahamas World (VP-BDE). Sold to National Aircraft Leasing in August 1974 and leased to AeroAmerica as N793NA, sub-leased to Egpytair in 1976 and 1977. Sold to Boeing for KC-135 parts in April 1983.

Paninternational
Paninternational was a short-lived German charter airline that initially was named Panair but had to change its name following complaints from Pan Am (which had the rights to Panair do Brasil). By the time this photo was taken, Paninternational had ceased operations, and the former D-ALAL held at Riem due to the airline’s financial difficulties had been re-registered N8420 to American Airlines.
This airframe started out as a Boeing 707-123 with American Airlines as N7511A in March 1959. It flew with Paninternational for only about a year between 1970 and 1971. Registered to American Airlines again as N8420, the aircraft went on to Aerocondor Colombia as HK-1802 in November 1975, was stored from April 1979 and b/u at Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1990.

Sold to Trans Polar Airways, Norway, as LN-TUV in Oct-70 but was repossessed in May-71 and again became EI-ALC. Sold to Trans European Airways, Belgium, as OO-TEB in Aug-72 and again leased to various operators (Air Cambodge, Tunis Air, El Al). Sold it to ATA American Trans Air in Nov-78 as N8790R and leased to Ambassadair. Ended up in Zaire as 9Q-CFT with Fontshi Aviation Service in 1990. Last seen stored derelict at Mbuji-Mayi, Zaire, in March 2011. (Sources: Ken Fielding on flickr, skystef.be)

The aircraft flew initially as VP-WKV, and later as Z-WKV. Ten years later, the aircraft was sold again, to African Express Airways as 5Y-AXI, and was only withdrawn around 2000 after 35 years in service. It ended up withdrawn at Sharjah International, UAE.

Information on Air Gabon Cargo/Affretair from oldjets.net:
AIR GABON CARGO (COMPAGNIE GABONAISE D’AFFRETE-MENTS AERIENS, S. A.) was formed in the spring of 1977 at Salisbury, Rhodesia, to provide freight services to Europe. In order to avoid the United Nations sanctions that led to the suspension of Affretair, Ltd. the previous year, this subsidiary of Air Trans Africa, Ltd. was registered in Libreville. Many former Affretair staff members found work with Air Gabon Cargo and the 'outlaw' airline’s entire fleet was leased, including two Douglas DC-8-55Fs Situ-tunga, a Canadair CL-44D, and two DC-7CFs. Flights continue even after 1979 when Affretair, Ltd. was forced, by the creation of the new state of Zimbabwe, to shut its doors in Gabon. The company’s assets were acquired by Air Zimbabwe, Ltd. in 1983 and reformed as Affretair, Ltd.

Pan Am (Pan American World Airways)
Morning arrival from New York City (via Frankfurt) on an April Sunday in 1977. In the early 1970’s, Pan Am was the only airline to operate a daily scheduled 747 service to Riem (PA 072/073, NYC-FRA-MUC-FRA-NYC), arriving from FRA around 9 AM each morning and leaving to FRA around noon. In later years, Pan Am flew directly to JFK, and, living close to the airport, to me it was always frightening to see the Jumbo labouring out low and heavy (with westerly winds, the departure route took it directly over the city).
:
First flight was January 19, 1970. Delivery date was February 5, 1970. Wears FN 738 with Pan Am. Sadly, W/O August 4, 1983 at KHI (Karachi) with Pan Am as N738PA after she was damaged beyond economical repair due to a hard landing in a very severe storm.

Pan Am (Pan American World Airways)
In the early 1970’s, Pan Am was the only airline to operate a daily scheduled 747 service to Riem (PA 072/073, NYC-FRA-MUC-FRA-NYC), arriving from FRA around 9 AM each morning and leaving to FRA around noon. In later years, Pan Am flew directly to JFK, and, living close to the airport, to me it was always frightening to see the Jumbo labouring out low and heavy (with westerly winds, the departure route took it directly over the city).
This Boeing 747, first flight 31 January 1970, was initially leased from Pan Am to American Airlines for about a year before AA received their own 747-123s. It was converted to a freighter in July 1991 and flew with Tower Air until wfu on 30 May 1999. B/U at JFK in 2000. (Source: scramble)

Information from flickr - thanks to Guido Allieri:
OH-LAA (c/n 299 series B4-203) was delivered in December 1986 to Finnair for Karair operations. It returned to Finnair in April 1990 and was then sold in April 1998 to Air Scandic as G-TTMC. The plane was leased to Caledonian a couple of times during its UK years, before it was to sold to MNG Airlines as TC-MNY in December 2004. In June 2006 it was first leased and then sold to Iran Air / Iran Air Tours (EP-MDA and then EP-IBG).
Still (or again) active as EP-IBG with Iran Air in 2020!

Shamrock green plane under Bavarian white-and-blue sky ...
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
Delivered to Aer Lingus in Jul-65 as EI-ANG, this aircraft stayed in service for 26 years until Aer Lingus retired it at Shannon in Mar-91. It was bought by leasing company Guinness Peat Aviation (later to become more famous as lessor GECAS) in Jun-91 and leased to Nigerian airline Hold Trade Air the same month. Unfortunately it didn't go on for much longer and was damaged beyond repair when it skidded off the runway at Kaduna, Nigeria, in Aug-92.
Information from WHBM on pprune.org:
The Aer Lingus One-Elevens were also notable in that the whole quartet (EI-ANE, EI-ANF, EI-ANG, EI-ANH) stayed together at Aer Lingus from mid 1965 to early 1991, when they were retired. That's a very long service time and most unusual, they were never added to or sold off. I guess EI must have been quite satisfied with them. They even got all sold to an operator in Nigeria and ran on there together to their various final ends.

Aer Lingus
The regular Aer Lingus flight to Riem in the early 1970s was a service from and to Dublin on early Sunday afternoons. I found the flight numbers EI 610/611 for winter 1972/1973 (DUB-BRU-MUC-BRU-DUB) and EI 612/613 for January/February 1974 (DUB-MUC-DUB).
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
Delivered new to Aer Lingus in Jun-65. It was leased to LANICA Nicaragua as AN-BBS in Oct-66, returning to Aer Lingus as EI-ANF in Apr-67. It was retired at the end of Nov-90 after 25 years in service and stored at Shannon, Ireland. In Mar-92 it was sold to Guinness Peat Aviation (which later became GECAS) and leased to Hold Trade Air, Nigeria, as 5N-HTD. It was retired and stored at Kaduna, Nigeria, in Jul-97 and was later broken up.
Information from WHBM and an anecdote from Bradan feasa on pprune.org:
The Aer Lingus One-Elevens were also notable in that the whole quartet (EI-ANE, EI-ANF, EI-ANG, EI-ANH) stayed together at Aer Lingus from mid 1965 to early 1991, when they were retired. That's a very long service time and most unusual, they were never added to or sold off. I guess EI must have been quite satisfied with them. They even got all sold to an operator in Nigeria and ran on there together to their various final ends.
EI-ANF was leased to Lanica as AN-BBS 29 October 1966 to 27 April 1967 with LANICA titles on the Aer Lingus colour scheme. It retained the Aer Lingus name Maolmhaoghóg (St Malachy) which some interpreted as a Nicaraguan deity!

Note: D-ABIR (2) was Boeing 737-530 c/n 24941/2042 flying for Lufthansa between 1991 and 2015.
Information from airliners.net (slightly adapted) - thanks to Felix Goetting:
Delivered in September 1965 to Lufthansa as D-ABIR, she flew for Condor from June 1967 till she was sold to Jet Aviation in June 1981 and became N727CH. Before she was sold to the "casino airline" Imperial Palace in July 1990 and became N727BE this B727 carried the regs VR-BHK, VR-BGW and N129JK. In December 1996 she was re-registered to N7271P and later fitted with winglets. After Imperial Palace sold this vintage Boeing, she became 3D-BOE and then was flying as S9-ROI for Benin Government. Noted derelict at Kinshasa in November 2011.

Boeing 737-2K2C/Adv
20943/405
Transavia Holland (Air Djibouti colours)
The first report I have of PH-TVD at Riem is from 6 September 1975, about half a year after it was delivered to Transavia Holland. The airframe was later seen at Riem in November 1983 as PH-TVD wearing full Eagle Air/Arnarflug colours (but no titles).
This aircraft had a long history (see below) and finally went out with a landing accident in 2018.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding and heathrow junkie:
This aircraft was built as a 'C', fitted with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to Transavia in Mar-75 as PH-TVD and during it's life with Transavia it spent more time flying for other airlines than it did with them.
PH-TVD c/n 20943 - Boeing 737-2K2C was delivered new to Transavia Holland in Mar 1975, one of around half a dozen bought in the mid 1970s to replace their fleet of Caravelles. During the 70s and 80s the aircraft spent a lot of the time leased out to other airlines, including British Airways. Final lease was to Indian Airlines between 1986 and 1990, and the aircraft was then sold to Europe Airpost as F-GGVP. In 2003, the aircraft went to Republic Express Airlines of Indonesia as PK-RPH. Passing to Jayawijaya Dirgantara later in the 2000s, and re-registered PK-JRM, the aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 2018 and withdrawn from use.

G-AMPO had visited Riem before with Macedonian Aviation on 8 July 1974. The Grumman G-159 Gulfstream I in the background is Lear Siegler Inc.‘s N171LS.
Information from ruudleeuw.com (slightly expanded):
G-AMPO (cn16437/33185) went thru various hands before joining Air Atlantique. From the USAAF (44-76853) it went straight thru in 1945 to the RAF as KN566. G-AMPO was first designated in 1952. In rapid succession it was used by Starways LTD (1953), Eagle Aircraft Services (1954), First Air Trading (1954), back to Eagle Acft Svcs (1955) and Starways (1956), Aviation Overhauls (1963), British Westpoint Airlines (1964) and then it went abroad to Polaris Air Transport as LN-RTO (1964). But in 1969 it was reregistered G-AMPO for Field Aircraft Services. That same year it went to British Aircraft Corporation. During the early-1970s it was used by Macedonian Securities and Macedonian Aviation before it returned to Albion and was registered to McDonald Aviation (1975). Then there was Intra Airways in 1975 and Vistair Flight in 1978. Eastern Airways started operating it from 1978 and all this moving about came to an end when it was registered to Air Atlantique in 1981. It remained with Air Atlantique until de-registration in 2001 and was subsequently presented to 47 Air Despatch Sqn, Royal Logistics Corps, for display at the unit’s HQ at RAF Lyneham. G-AMPO was placed as a gateguard at RAF Lyneham in Sep01, repainted and marked 'FZ626'.

Convair 440-68A Metropolitan

Luftwaffe (West German Air Force)
Luftwaffe Convair is heading to runway 25 for take-off. It was operated by Luftwaffe between November 1962 and November 1973. This airframe was again seen at Riem in September 1975 as N5DG with Alice Cooper, still wearing basic Luftwaffe colours.
This Convair was originally destined for Lufthansa but not taken up:
The 1st Lufthansa 340 was nearing completion in early 1954 and took to the skies as N8424H in January 1954. Unfortunately, there was a last-minute delay in the lifting of the WW2 Treaty and the (4) 340's were canceled (all sold to other operators).
(Source: www.airlinercafe.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6205)
It was built as a Convair 340-68A and converted to a Convair 440 in 1954.

Gulf Air
A rare sight at Riem. I have only two other reports of Gulf Air TriStars at Riem: A4O-TX had visited before on 13 August 1980, and N41020 leased from TWA was seen at Riem on a diversion from CDG on 15 December 1978.
According to my information, the first visit of a TriStar to Riem was Court Line’s G-BAAA on 15 March 1973. Otherwise, apart from British Airways/British Airtours aircraft, TriStars were relatively rare at Riem up until the late 1970s when LTU aircraft also began to turn up more regularly. Later in the 1980s, the variety increased with Pan Am, TWA, Delta and Air Canada sending TriStar 500s to Munich on scheduled flights.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Frank C. Duarte Jr.:
First flight was January 29, 1976. Delivery date was February 13, 1976. Built as TriStar 100, cvt'd to TriStar 200 in April 1982, & again cvt'd to TriStar 200(SF) freighter for Arrow Air. Other serials - N308GB with Arrow Air as "Lady Marianne", and also initially G-BDCX with Gulf Air. Wears FN X 102 with Gulf Air.

Swissair DC-10s were very occasionally observed at Riem, on diversions or substituting for the usual DC-9s. Still, they were among the earliest DC-10s to be seen at the airport. HB-IHD was noted on 17 May 1975, probably the date of this photo here showing her lined up for take-off on runway 25 surrounded by blooming dandelions.
Other Swissair DC-10s reported at Riem include HB-IHA on 18 March 1973, HB-IHB on 5 November 1973, HB-IHE on 1 September 1979, HB-IHF on 31 October 1975, HB-IHG on 15 November 1978, HB-IHH on 5 July 1980, and HB-IHK (with Balair) on 23 April 1979.
HB-IHD was delivered new to Swissair in December 1973 (first called "Bern", later "Thurgau"). It was sold to JAT as YU-AMC in May 1988, went on to Electra Airlines as VP-BMP in January 1993, and Northwest as N228NW in July 1995. Wfu at Maxton, North Carolina, in December 2002 and broken up there. (Source: swissair00.ch)

F-BVGL shortly before touch-down on runway 07. There’s an emergency landing of F-BVGL reported for Riem on 4 November 1979, but I’m not entirely sure if this photo is from that day. Nor do I know what the emergency was.
F-BVGL was reported again at Riem on 15 April and 18 May 1980.

Former Lufthansa Airbus D-AIBF visiting Riem again with Orion Airways.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WZEJ, this aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa as D-AIBF in Apr-79. It was leased to Condor Flugdienst on delivery and returned to Lufthansa in Jan-80. After only eight years the aircraft was sold to Orion Airways (UK) as G-BMZL in May-87. Orion Airways was merged into Britannia Airways in Jan-89. As Britannia was an all Boeing operator, the two ex Orion A300's were sold to Iberia (Spain) in Apr-89, this aircraft initially being assigned the temporary Spanish registration EC-274. It was converted to A300B4-203 standard in May-89 and re-registered EC-EOO in Aug-89. The aircraft was permanently retired at Madrid, Spain in early 1999 and broken up there in Dec-99.

SE-DFK (c/n 094 series B2-230, first flight 12 December 1979) was delivered new to SAS Scandinavian in March 1980 as their second A300. Leased to Scanair from 1983, it was then sold to Conair in November 1987. During its Conair years, the plane was shortly leased to ZAS Airlines of Egypt and Sultan Air. In September 1993 Conair merged into Premiair. A short lease to Corsair during the 1995 summer season. The plane was sold to Bosphorus at the very end of 2001. Retired in 2003, the plane is still rusting in a corner of the old Istanbul Airport.

Information from flightsimrepaints.nl:
In 1976 Transavia Holland placed an order at Airbus Industrie for one Airbus A300B4 for delivery in April 1977. In the meantime the airline leased an Airbus A300B2 from Airbus Industrie from 06.05.1976 till 18.01.1977. The capacity of the type turned out to be too large for flexible using. The order was cancelled and PH-TVL went back to Airbus Industrie. It was sold to Air Inter and at the end scrapped in 2000. Remarkable is the distinctive painting. The font on the fuselage for Transavia Holland was only applied on PH-TVL.

G-AYOP later visited Riem with British Caledonian Airways as well (I have reports from April 1973 and May 1979). The lamps around the aircraft in this shot probably indicate that it’s been set up to spend the night at Riem.
Court Line were quite regularly seen at Riem in the early 1970s while the company lasted, sometimes two or three aircraft a day, such as on 5 April 1970 when G-AXMF, G-AXMG and G-AXMH were reported on the same day.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
Originally built as a One-Eleven 518, it was delivered to Court Line Aviation in Mar-71 as G-AYOP and was returned to the British Aircraft Corporation in Dec-72. The aircraft was modified to a One-Eleven 530 and sold to British Caledonian Airways in Mar-73. B.Cal was merged into British Airways in Apr-88. Wfu and stored at Bournemouth UK from Dec-92 until sold to European Aviation in Dec-94 and leased to their subsidiary company, European Air Charter. It was sub-leased to UK charter airline Debonair between Jun/Sep-99. In Nov-01 it was returned to European Aviation and immediately sold to Savannah Airlines, Nigeria, as 5N-BDV. It was finally withdrawn from use sometime during 2005 and stored at Maiduguri, Nigeria. It was noted still there in 2008 and was later broken-up.
Wet leased to Air Malta in 1974/1975 wearing their full colours.

Bavaria and Germanair merged in January 1977 and then merged into Hapag-Lloyd in April 1979. Their aircraft wore a hybrid colour scheme during this period, consisting of the basic Germanair livery with Bavaria Germanair titles and a stylized lion’s head logo (reflecting the Bavaria heritage) on the tail.
The first Airbus A300 to visit Riem was Airbus Industrie’s prototype F-WUAB on 15 June 1973. Germanair’s D-AMAX, delivered on 23 May 1975, followed second on 2 June 1975 (first report of the aircraft at Riem).
