Built for Cubana, but the sale was never completed. The aircraft was leased to Tennessee Gas Transmission Corporation. Several operators later, singer Ray Charles bought the Viscount in January 1977 for touring and using his birthday of September 23rd, registered it N923RC. Damaged beyond repair after it hydro-planed off the end of the runway without injuries at Bloomington, Indiana on October 19, 1985. The hulk was sold to the Go Group for parts.
