Built in 1957 as YV-T-JTP for export to Venezuela, re-registered as YV-C-FLK, to YV-T-UTZ in 1962 and YV-C-SAE in 1963. Imported to the US in 1963 as N173K, the aircraft suffered several accidents over the years, the last being in October 1993 when it crashed at Beaver Creek, 60 miles north of Fairbanks. The aircraft was restored and has recently been registered to a Wasilla AK. based owner. Phillips Field, once a thriving GA field home to around 100 aircraft, closed in 1991.
