Previously operated by Universal Airlines from the USA, and withdrawn from use in 1967 and sold. It went through various US owners, but remained in storage. It was eventually sold to Rudolfo Castex from Argentina in September 1974, who operated it in South America. Interestingly, Castex also kept the Commando in full Universal Airlines livery, as seen here. In 1984 it was acquired by Transportes Aéreos Universal from Bolivia (formed in 1979) and became CP-1524. Its fate is unclear, but registration CP-1524 had been cancelled by 1998. Presumably scrapped.
