Re: [cactuswings 3468] LOG : KVCV 17-11-2015

Thanks again for the replies.

Looking at tails/rudders again, the last unknown ANA 767 looks to be JA8271,
making the 4 ANA on 17-11-2015 :

JA8290 (reg on wing)
JA8368 reg worn
JA8363 (see previous mail)
JA8371

Hi Jakob, Kevin, - All,

going through various online sources with the goal to establish this conundru, then indeed my theory of no single aircraft hanging around for long seems WRONG.

(There may well be reasons, legal, safety or others that prevent an aircraft from being scrapped quickly - even if that is the desire of the owner?)

The way this particular ANA 767 is parked, the position and also the angle of the front wheel bogey goes back all the way to beginning of 2013 !

This picture shows what seems to be the exact same aircraft in the same position:

But which one is it?

The Airliners.net photo unfortunately has no exact day given.

According to my records, JA8273 arrived at VCV on 10jan2013 (ten)

This picture showing the same aircraft/position was taken on 01jan2013 (one)

All logos etc already painted out and engines and cargo doors dismantled. Not sure how quick this can be done?

One notable entry in a VCV log from 23mar15 i have is:

"JA8273         B763      ANA (no tiltes/logo/reg) – assumed from markings (also "7" visible on LHS nwd door)!

If the "7" is correct as part of the registration showing [again], that could make it any aircraft in the JA827* series.

However if the arrival date of JA8273 and the picture dates are correct, then it must be either JA8271 or JA8272 which both arrived in mid/end-2012.

Here is a picture taken from the ground of that aircraft just days after my visit

I also have two separate logs from a ramp tour 24oct13 where one quotes JA8273 as one of the two ANA 767 seen and one doesn't listing two different regs - they couldn't even agree on which ANA 767s they saw on the same date/tour!

Anyway, various sources still hang on to JA8273 and this one ought to know:

http://socalspotters.net/trip-reports/item/1603-victorville-storage-update-may-2015

JA8273 B763
JA8288 B763
JA8290 B763
JA8291 B763

- Mark, would you be able to follow-up on source of the ID of JA8273 ?

Regards

Stefan
