Airliner from GMT-Master?
Does anyone have the GMT-Master brochure that has the following cover?
 I have been trying to identify the exact jet type and tail number from that cover for an article. I pinpointed it to a DC-10 based on different cockpit pictures. Here’s an actual Swiss Air crew on the DC-10.  My question is the tail number that we can see on the placard in the Rolex brochure. It starts with “HB-“ because it is a Swiss registered airplane. (Ignore the four letters below HB — “CLDM?” — that’s a selcal number)  I don’t have the actual brochure but I wonder if the tail number is HB-IHA because it was part of the Swiss Air fleet. But I am not sure. I can’t find high-definition pictures on the web.  Here’s the full list of the DC-10 fleet at Swiss Air: http://www.sr692.com/fleet/32_dc10/index.html Can you tell which one it is? Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This image was used in a number of versions of the booklet printed over some years.
I have a number in the office...  ...and will try to have a look for you, Christmas retail madness permitting. Haywood

I've just examined a number of them.
The resolution is not good enough to be certain, but I am confident it is HB-??A and it definitely could be HB-1HA, yes. Haywood Instagram : haywood_milton_rolex
