Originally N8558R with Aeromech from October 1974, this Beech 99 was merged into Wright Airlines when Aeromech was bought by them in October 1983. Sold to Air Kentucky in February 1984, the jet prop was operated until 1989 when Air Kentucky shut down. The aircraft was sold and flown to Peterborough, ON where it sat in a corner of the airport and picked for parts with another Beech 99 and a DC3.
