A Boeing 727-2J0 Advanced of former Jamaican flag carrier Air Jamaica lets down into a stormy Miami International in June of 1991. The aircraft, "VR-CMD," is in the first official livery for the airline, introduced in 1969. Interestingly, the Air Jamaica name initially showed up as secondary titles on BWIA 727-100's prior to the company establishing its own independent operations and identity (an identity that would be lost in the 2000's when Air Jamaica became part of the Caribbean Airlines combine which, ironically, included BWIA.) The dark skies at MIA are not unusual, by the way, especially in the afternoon in the summer months when thunderstorms tend to build all day and then pour for about 20 minutes late in the afternoon. Typical Florida weather!
