Photo Comment

Originally built in 1958 as N6597C for Northeast Airlines it was re-possessed by Vickers in 1963 due to non-payment of lease fees, and was sold at auction to what was to be the first of a number of corporate owners, initially as N3939V and later as N8989V, until being acquired by Ron Clarke Enterprises in 1974. It served with Clarke's company, or one of its Go Group associates, until late 1989 when it was withdrawn from use at Tucson. During its time with the Go Group it was used by such musical luminaries as Bad Company, The Who, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and David Bowie.
