Last summer, UTA asked Lebanon to allow an airplane with registration 3X-GDM to fly through Beirut. The request was denied. UTA then asked Lebanon to allow an airplane with registration 3D-FAK to fly through Beirut. This request was initially denied, but later approved.
UTA flew two Boeing 727s. If the one that wasn't allowed to fly through Beirut was 3X-GDM, then the one that was allowed to fly through must have been 3X-GDO. I can't find any information on an airplane with registration 3D-FAK.
Also, I want to find out what happened to 3X-GDM. Supposedly it was leased to Libyan Arab Airlines, but it seems odd to me that an airplane that Lebanon didn't want in its airspace was deemed airworthy enough to go into service for another airline.
In addition, the pilot who thinks he saw N844AA on June 27/28 in Guinea is wrong. It wasn't 3X-GOM, it was 3X-GDM, which had been ferried from the US to Guinea on June 26.
I look forward to comments/criticisms.
