Delivered new to American Airlines as N6106A, and later flown by McCulloch International and PSA before joining the Honduran AF in 1979. Flown as HR-EMA for a period from 1992 to simplify overseas flights, the aircraft was withdrawn from use in the mid 1990s but flew a limited number of relief flights in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch in 1998 before being returned to storage. In 2011 she was purchased by Airspray as C-GNPB but following a problematic ferry flight and thorough inspection on arrival at Red Deer, the decision was made to withdraw the aircraft for spares use.
