Notes:

FAC1147, later reregistered as FAC1247 and named “El Playista” (The Beach Man) and “Luna Verde” (Green Moon), was the third and final 727 for Satena. It is a Boeing 727-2B7 with serial number 20303/793 and built in 1970. First delivered as N751VJ to Allegheny Airlines, also flew for Braniff Airlines (N405BN), Northwest Airlines (N208US), Pan American World Airways (N384PA) and Zuliana de Aviación (YV-462C); before landing in Colombia as HK-3872-X with Isleña de Aviación. This short lived airline was established in 1993 to connect the Caribbean island of San Andrés with cities inside continental Colombia. In July 8th, 1994, less than a year of the beginning of its operations, the airline was grounded due to many investigations regarding illegal flights and drug smuggling. Although the airline’s lawyers fought for the company, it ended its life and one of its aircrafts, HK-3872, became FAC1147 and then FAC1247. Source: oldjets.net
