Chang An's B-5115

Our December edition of "HNL RareBirds Classic" goes back to February 2005, with the delivery flight HNL stopover of Chang An Airlines' B-5115 (c/n 29640, l/n 1649), a 737-8FH. Itʻs seen above on the Bradley Pacific Aviation ramp, with the original Hainan Air Group livery.

B-5115 was delivered to Chang An Airlines under lease from RBS in February 2005, then sold to SMBC in June 2012, while still leased to the airline. In the second half of 2011, it was painted into the 2007 red and yellow livery.
