After rolled out in early 1969, several sales of this Twin Otter to the USA fell through and the aircraft was delivered to Aeronaves de Mayab as XA-BOL December 19, 1969. West Coast Air Services bought it in September 1979, but it never entered service. It was sold to Contact Airways in April 1980 and photographed just before the titles were painted out and the tail logo became a red circle. While flying on floats with Maldivian Air Taxi as 8Q-MAG, the aircraft was written off (with no injuries) when it struck the water after a photo shoot at the Halaveli Island Resort, Maldives June 2, 2009.
