Photo Comment

This aircraft was delivered to Swissair in December 1973 and served with them until sold to JAT Yugoslav Airlines as YU-AMC in May 1988. It was re-registered VP-BMP when acquired by Electra Aviation Leasing in January 1993, but sold in July 1995 to Northwest as N228NW. In December 2002 it was bought by Charlotte Aircraft Corp for parting out, re-registered N228PR and ferried to their facility at Laurinburg-Maxton Airport, NC., where, at the time of posting, its stripped hulk still remains and can be seen on Google Earth imagery date November 2023.
