Operated a supply charter CVT-CGN-CVT on behalf of the Ford Motor Company. Quite a rare sight at CGN, even back in '92. Very bad wx that day with pouring rain and high winds. Photo is of rather poor quality because I had to use a long lens (>300mm).

Operator: Channel Express. Usual weekend-nightstop at CGN. N344HA / N284F changed rotation patterns fortnightly.

leased from TAROM.

On 4 September 2022, this aircraft was operating a flight from Jerez to Cologne, but it never reached this destination. At some point during the flight, the aircraft became unresponsive to ATC calls and it overflew Germany at FL360 on a course towards to North-East. A QRA was triggered in France and Germany, but the crew of the fighter jets couldn't see anyone onboard the aircraft. Almost 2 hours after the last course change, the aircraft began to lose altitude and entered a left hand spiral into the Baltic Sea, off the Latvian coast. A Swedish rescue helicopter that was dispatched during these the final moments of the flight was able to locate the wreckage. Sadly none of the occupants survived.
