Photo Comment

The old Saudia colours looked good on most types and here is one of the least-often seen. This aircraft spent two lease periods with them (3.75-4.77 and 1.78-11.80), having started out in 2.59 as N146L (later N746L) with Bonanza, merged into Air West and then Hughes Airwest in 4.70. Sold to Aeronor Chile as CC-CBS in 12.80 and now on display at the old Los Cerrillos airport in the Chilean National Air & Space Museum
