THIS BOEING 727-281, registered HL7350 (c/n 20469), currently residing at Inha University in Incheon, South Korea, made its maiden flight on December 29, 1970, before being delivered to lapan's All Nippon Airlines (ANA) as JA8831. After a decade of ANA service, it was sold to Korean Air in December 1980, giving another ten years of service before suffering a wheels-up landing at Taegu (now Daegu) in South Korea on June 13, 1991. The accident report stated that the crew failed to read out the landing checklist, did not extend the undercarriage, then pulled the circuit-breaker when the warning horn sounded. Fortunately for the 127 aboard, there were no casualties.
