Delivered to Eastern Airlines as N457A in March 1952. N469M was re-registered to Mohawk Airlines when it acquired local routes and 15 Martin 404s from Eastern in 1962. In 1965 the Martins were traded to Ozark Airlines in a swap for Convair 240s to rationalize each other fleets. in 1968 Ozark sold their Martin fleet to Fairchild-Hiller for more FH-227s. Stored in Las Vegas, the aircraft is pictured in Louisville en-route to a new owner in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Several brokers and lessors later, it was last with Shawnee Airlines circa 1974 and broken up in 1976.
