After 30 years of service as a company transport as N76Y, AVENSA acquired the Convair 580 and used it for short-haul airline services for 11 years. It was sold to SERCA / SEC Colombia, and ended up its days as HK-3675 in April 1995, when it was destroyed after trying to take off from a gravel strip near Espinal, apparently on a drug run.
