Delivered to United Airlines November 24, 1968, N9037U would leave the fleet fairly quickly in April 1973. Sold to Frontier Airlines (N7383F), the aircraft would go on to fly into the next century. Moving to Africa in 1995, it was last with Aero Africa as 3D-AAJ from 2004. Retired in 2007, the aircraft was stored at Gateway International Airport (now Polokwane International Airport) in Pietersburg (now Polokwane), South Africa. It was broken up there in 2014.

Sadly a very poor quality slide and I had no second chance as I was in Miami only one day. This frame was leased for only 6 months from Frontier Airlines and returned 30 Apr 80.
