Because AP-BFC was the first Rombac 1-11 built in Romania in 1982 and maybe that's why it was ferried to Romania due to this airframe's importance in Romania's aviation history. Probably it will be preserved at Bucharest Airport or at some museum in Romania.

interesting shot of the Rombac1-11, seems to be the shot has been taken while aircraft being towed to different location as the tug rod is visible and the nose gear is turned towards right.

thanks for sharing the details...

Three Shaheen 737-200s are also in storage.

Looks like they have been parted out to keep other aircraft airworthy.
