N287KB Leaves Storage
For the first time since September 2021, "McDonnell Douglas 287 Kilo Bravo" took to the skies at the McKinney National Airport (TKI.) The private MD-87 had been stored at the North Texas Airport since the death of its original owner, billionaire Ken Behring.
The 34 year-old airframe headed for the Miami Executive Airport (TMB) around 1 PM and appeared to be non-RVSM as it cruised at FL270 the entire way down.
My hope is that the aircraft has found a new home and is not on a one way journey to become beer cans.. Either way, it will be a bit odd now not seeing the familiar sight of the MD-87 sitting on the south end of TKI! Farewell Mad Dog.
