24.09.2020 -- 4X-EMB -- Embraer 190 -- Arkia Airlines

Arriving from Tel Aviv (TLV) as AIZ100 for storage after it had been retired from service. This aircraft started its life as PH-FNS for FlyNonStop in 2013, which I photographed on arrival to MST (see the 2013 album). Quite a coincidence. This E190 later went to Australia and continued flying there.
