Additional Historical Information
During the period from Feb-1978 to May-1978 it appears the aircraft remained painted, and registered as N753AF whilst operating in Libya, this in spite of the registration having been cancelled 10-Feb-1978. A second cancellation of the registration N753AF occurred on 08-May-1978.
Aircraft was withdrawn from use and parked at Dinard, France mid-1990, where it remained until 1994. As the aircraft had no engines, and had been idle for four years, it was transported via container to Florida to be dismantled for parts.
Remains of aircraft were first noted at Valle, AZ in Oct-2002, having been acquired by Twin Otter International in Apr-2000
