Boeing 727-092C B-1018

This rare photograph is courtesy of the Vincent Ma collection. It depicts the ill fated Air America 727 N5093 (operating as Southern Air Transport) which was passed to Civil Air Transport in January of 1968.  It was intended to replace the Convair 880 on the Mandarin Jet flights. Vincent's image shows it at the old Chung Shan Airport in Taipei.  In the event, its tragic crash resulted in the complete demise of CAT.  The Taiwan Government (or perhaps the CIA itself) decided to close down the phantom airline and soon afterward China Airlines, the flag carrier for the Republic of China was born, under completely new management.  B-1018 crashed into the mountains at Kinkou, just south of Taipei on the night of 16 February 1968 with the loss of 21 lives, including several high ranking R.O.C. officers.  Officially, the reason given was pilot error, although scuttlebutt says that somebody had been tinkering around with the radar system.
