What: Gulf & Caribbean Air Boeing 727-200 en route from Memphis,TN to Hamilton, Ontario
Where: Cincinnati
When: Dec 13th 2009
Who: 3 crew members
Why: While en route, engine 3 developed an oil pressure problem, most likely due to a leak. The right engine (3) was shut down and the plane diverted to Cincinnati where it made a safe landing.
After landing, apparently maintenance discovered no oil IN the engine, but quite a lot ON it. Not finding a current photo of this plane in Gulf & Caribbean Air colors, we have delved into history and (if we have made no errors) resurrected a photo of this plane in its former life with the photographer’s permission. If there’s a mistake, it’s ours.
