Thanks Brent for sharing this info! Always so interesting to hear stories about a specific aircraft and especially also what happened to it, though always sad when they finished w/o following a crash. I'm always interested in my scans to share the history of the aircraft which often leads me to have pictured the same aircraft with different airlines or different liveries and know their stories. Take care
At the time this plane went to Transbrasil, it was nicknamed "Atomic" by the company's employees at the time. My father was in aircraft maintenance there at the time and told me this story. Very cool.
