Sabena Boeing 737-229C OO-SDH (cn 20914/396) undergoing pre-delivery checks at the Boeing plant in 1975.

Three years later, on April 4th, 1978, this particular machine crashed at Charleroi-Gosselies airport after several ring-doves were ingested by the engines while the airplane was rotating.

OO-SDH was completely consumed in the ensueing fire. Fortunately the three occupants survived without injury.
