AA9119 taxies out at Shannon 19/07/1980. Unlike today, American Airlines did not operate scheduled services to European airports at the time so it was quite a rare visitor. As far as I recall it was operating a cargo service for Aer Lingus. This 707 was subsequently sold to MEA -Middle East Airlines as OD-AHB in 1982 but was destroyed on the ground at Beirut during shelling of the airport in January 1987.
