First thing that popped into my head was that 72 that went missing in Africa a few years ago, but a discussion on another site has confirmed this is not it, though curiously they are both ex-AA birds with only one digit missing from their old registrations... this one was N848AA, and I think the African one was N844AA.

that is the first ugly 727 I have seen!
