N68740 appeared at Bankstown briefly for maintenance before returning to the Indonesian province of West Irian, where it was used to support Freeport Indonesia's mining operation. In 1971 it was replaced by a Fairchild F27. N68740 went to the US where was converted into a luxury air yacht. It was last reported at the Pima Air Museum, Arizona.
