Delivered on 22 April 1960 and the crowd of spectators suggests this as a first visit - possibly even of Swissair itself. Converted to -33 then later transferred to Sudflug as D-ADIM in 1968. Modified to freight configuration for United Air Carriers in 1978 as N712UA then withdrawn as HK-3178X at Medellin (SKMD) in 1992 and scrapped.
