M-STAR B727-2X8

Heard that orporate B727-2x8 - M-STAR was coming into London-stansted at lunchtime, so I went there to get it so here are my photos







I could be wrong, but judging by its blue colour scheme, looks like one time it was part of Vegas based Sands Casino.

cheers

Went to Kemble. Don't think it's had anything to do with the Sands.

Originally entering service in 1981 with the now-defunct charter Wedge Aviation as N4523N and N721MF, remaining under its ownership until 2008, when it was acquired by Wells Fargo and reregistered as N727LL. Between 2010 and 2011, the aircraft was briefly operated by Virgin Islands-based Azer Management as M-ETIS, before finally landing in the hands of Starling International Management as a private jet.

No connection seen with casinos.

I'm sure that this 727 was at Lasham in the last months for a while getting some kind of Mx after a very busy summer season hopping here there and everywhere.
