This 1984 built Short 360 was put on the British register as G-BLIL and first flew under test registration G-14-3647 on May 24 that year. It was leased to Wright Airlines as N635KC for a few month before operated by ASA Atlantic Southeast Airlines between November 1984 and June 1988. It showed up on the Australian register in February 1990, shortly before this picture was taken. It was apparently converted to a C-23B+ Sherpa becoming msn SH3417 in 1997 with the military serial "93-1333" assigned, before being operated by the US Forest Service till around 2013 as N177Z.
