EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant Boeing 727-64 XA-SEJ, also known as Azteca de Oro MSN 19255 and Line No. 331, of Mexicana Airlines. The image, taken circa 1968, captures the Boeing 727 in its prime, with its distinctive livery and powerful presence. The Boeing 727-64 XA-SEJ made its first flight on October 26, 1966, and was delivered to Mexicana Airlines on November 8, 1966. However, its history was cut short when it met with a tragic end on September 21, 1969. The aircraft crashed into Lake Texcoco, just as it was approaching Mexico City International Airport. Despite its unfortunate fate, this photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and innovation of aviation technology during the late 1960s. The Boeing 727 was a groundbreaking aircraft in its time, with its twin-engine design, T-tail configuration, and advanced avionics. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the stories that lie within each aircraft's past.
