Delivered to KLM as PH-DSI in July 1957 it was converted as a DC-7F in August 1962. In 1969 it was sold to Aer Turas as EI-ATV but quickly passed to Affretair as TR-LNZ. In 1979 it was leased to the Rhodesian AF as serial 7230 returning to Affretair, this time as VP-YTY, in 1980. In 1982 it was placed on the US register as N103LM, operating for La Mancha Aire, JBM & Sons and Million Air before acquired by Trans Air Link in February 1985. It was leased in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1998; little is known of its DRC time except that it was reportedly scrapped at Kinshasa in 2010.
