Still in Capitol Air cols (ex N4905C). No reg applied on the aircraft, however, it had officially been registered to Air Gabon Cargo as TR-LVK on 26 Apr 1975. Registered to Affretair Feb 1976, retaining reg TR-LVK. Re-reg Z-WSB Mar 1989 but still with Affretair. Damaged beyond repair 28 Jan 1996 when it overran the runway landing at Harare (Zimbabwe) in heavy rain. Apparently the spoilers had not been armed and reverse thrust was not available on engines 2 and 4. The nose gear collapsed.
