Photo Comment

slide scan from the NK collection. - HB-VBU was on the Swiss register between 1970 and 1971, therafter it was sold to Italy as I-CART, retaining its nice golden colour scheme. - Shortly after being acquired in the USA as N37DH, the Learjet suffered a take off accident and was damged by fire during a training mission from Las Vegas in October 1978. It was later registered as N93BR, but I assume it was only bought for parts and was not active again.
