In 1960 this former USAAF A-26C (ex 44-35999) was converted by Lockheed Aircraft Services to their LAS Super 26 model, with a more spacious cabin for executive use. It went to Mexico in Dec 1973 and was purchased for spares by Air Spray in Nov 1980. Flown from San Antonio, TX to Red Deer on delivery in early 1981, using registration C-GQPZ. Soon after arrival the left wing was used to repair Air Spray's C-FTFB (c/n 28723), which had suffered an in-flight wing fire in the engine area in August 1977. The remainder of this aircraft was then stored for further spares use, and this fuselage was still at Red Deer by 2017.
