Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version.
<p>Almost beyond the range of the 200mm lens I had at the time and suffering from a little heat shimmer.

LTU Sud (Lufttransport Sud AG &amp; Co KG Fluggesellschaft) was based at Munich (MUC) and formed by LTU Dusseldorf in Aug-83 as a low-cost subsidiary (lower operating costs rather than lower fares for the public). The majority of LTU Sud's aircraft were eventually transferred to LTU's Spanish subsidiary, LTE (Lineas de Transportacions Espanolas) in Nov-87 and based at Palma, Majorca (PMI). In fact D-AMUW, which was delivered new just two weeks before I took this photo, was transferred to LTU Mainline and operated with them until Nov-03 when it was sold to a leasing company and leased to Ryan International in the USA as N929RD. It was sold to FedEx in May-10 and converted to freight configuration in Mar-11 as N943FD. Current as of Mar-14.
