In Galaxy colours, including their logo on the tail. Crashed 2 months later on 21st January 1985 after encountering vibration just after take off from Reno. This was caused by an improperly closed air start access door, but the crew suspected engine trouble and tried to return to the airport. Because of this the crew reduced power and the plane was not able to maintain sufficient airspeed and stalled.
