Although looking unlikely here the aircraft did live to fly another day and subsequently operated for Libyan Arab A/L, Southeast A/L, Faucett, Tropic Air, Aeronaves Borinquena and Hispaniola A/W, all still as N421MA, before being withdrawn from use at Miami in April 1982. The registration was cancelled in July 1982 but the aircraft was purchased by Hispaniola in August 1982 and re-registered HI-401. It was withdrawn from use at Puerto Plata Airport in the Dominican Republic in January 1984 and last noted stored there in August 1985 and is thought to have been broken there shortly after.

This aircraft was written off when it ditched in the sea off Opa Locka on 22nd July 1978 after a double engine failure during a training flight.

This aircraft was written off after it force landed in Cienéga Unguía lagoon, Colombia, on 1st April 1978 after an unauthorised flight from Panama.
