Here's a shot of a rare aircraft not seen in HNL before. This shiny 727 belongs to Peter Nygård (As if you couldn't tell by the HUGE name across the fuselage).
VP-BPZ, a 727-17(RE) Super 27 (c/n 20327, l/n 797), arrives on Runway 04R for parking at the Air Service Hangar. Note: this aircraft has two different designs on it's tail on each side.
Peter Nygård is the chairman of Nygård International of Winnipeg, Manitoba, a company that makes women's wear. His was rated the 70th richest Canadian by Canadian Business magazine in 2009 with a net worth of US$817 million.
20327's original owner was CP Air, delivered in March 1970 as CF-CPN. In May 1977, it went to National Aircraft Leasing, and leased to Nigeria Airways as N115TA. In November 1977, it became N4002M and acquired by Fluor Corp. The Amway Corporation was next owner in November 1982, as N529AC. In September 2000, Enterprise Aviation LLC picked up the 727, and became N624VA. Its current owner, Peter Nygård, purchased the jet in May 2005 as N727PN. Three years later, it was re-registered as the current VP-BPZ.

This has been parked near the tower at Chek Lap Kok (VHHH) Hong Kong for the past week or more. Lovely aircraft but hugely egocentric. I bet he enjoyed the casinos in macao and had plenty Pearl River Delta pollution to cough up when he finally got to the clean air of HNL.
This aircraft is currently (as of 6/17/2011) on the tarmac at LaGuardia airport, NYC--where I suspect it's seen more often than HNL. :)
As of 6/23/2011 it was still sitting on the Tarmac at LaGuardia airport, NYC.. Very cool plane, but I agree just a tad but egocentric!! lol
The aircraft is currently parked on the south ramps - near cargo section - at LAX.
This 727 is at Los Cabos, Mexico
On 24MAR2012, this plane was at James A Richardson International Airport, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
As of Monday, March 26, it is currently sitting at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport (CYWG), in the private aircraft area, to the south of the main field.
