Hi all,
I believe I've operated that airplane whilst it was all pax fit.

Kuwait Airways (9K-ADA) was still operating their three -200s when I departed Kuwait back in late '94.

I think 'ADA' was the one the Sky Marshall discharged his revolver in the flight deck (whilst on the ground at Kuwait Intl.), proving it wasn't loaded, but forgot the round in the chamber.
We were about to operate it to London Heathrow, and the crew van was called back to Ops. No real damage, missed everything!

I believe those airplanes stood in the Kuwaiti desert for some time after they were retired.

just a thought,

Cheers, FD
