XA-SOA  Douglas DC-9-15                                    (c/n 47059)

                                 

                                      Although this image is "out of the time slot" as far as my personal collection goes, I will include
                                      it, since it illustrates the first DC-9 to be operated in Mexico and also shows the livery used by
                                      Aeronaves during the 1950s and 1960s.  I picked up this post card whilst on a business trip to
                                      Mexico in the late 1960s.    This DC-9 was still flying with Aerocalifornia as XA-RNQ well into
                                      the new millenium.
