SAS MD-81 SE-DMT (48003/944) Del. 10/26/1980 to Swissair as HB-IND 'Zug'
After serving Swissair for a number of years this MD-81 moved on to serve Scandinavian (SAS) as SE-DMT 'Tora Viking'. In the above photo, the aircraft is seen still wearing basic Swissair colors and its new SAS registration as it waits to be repainted at the SAS maintenance facilities at Arlanda (ARN). The aircraft has since operated for Icelandic MD and
currently operates with Nordic Airlink again wearing registration SE-DMT.
