There is a bit of a problem with the identity of this Beech 200. C/n BB-333 was officially registered to Air Charter S.A.S. on 6 July 2000 as HK-3941W, and it is still current as such on the register today (although the usage suffix letter was later changed from W to G, a common thing in Colombia). Airframe BB-333 was built in 1978 and delivered as N308F, then to N3207 in 1981, to C-FANG in 1984, F-GHLH in 1989 and TC-AUY in December 1994, then apparently to Colombia in July 2000. The problem is that TC-AUY was still flying in Turkey in 2003 and 2008, and it was damaged beyond repair in Turkey in February 2009. Clearly that post-2000 TC-AUY and HK-3941G cannot both be c/n BB-333, but which one is wrong?
