Originally the aircraft was re-registered 2-BDDE for its life in storage. However, the paperwork took longer than expected and the aircraft had to be reverted back to its former Cypriot registration 5B-DDE. Since stickers are expensive, a low-tech, low-cost solution was implemented by means of a handwritten piece of paper to cover the "2".

Both 5B-DDA and 5B-DDE flew in on April 16, for maintenance and TLC. If I'm not mistaken, they won't return to service with Tus and a new owner will be sought. For the foreseeable future, they will spend their days at Eelde.

Pictured shortly after arriving for an prolonged maintenance visit. Currently parked on our former runway 01/19 (now taxiway Bravo), together with 5B-DDA. It is expected that they will remain there for a while. Ex. N1437B with American Airlines and PR-OAU with OceanAir and Avianca Brasil. The aircraft later also carried the registrations N266JM, 2-ITUD and PH-AQH (all for only a few months) before becoming 5B-DDE with Tus Airways.
