Originally delivered to American Air Lines as N94252. Also operated with Southeast Airlines, Ozark Airlines and Mohawk Airlines as well as a fair number of corporate operators. It was in the ownership of a private owner when on 15 Feb 1980 sometime after departure from Port-au-Prince it returned due to engine problems. An emergency landing was made with the left engine and wing on fire. The three occupants had disappeared by the time rescue services arrived. The aircraft was carrying marijuana.
