on tour with the late John Denver

Departing from runway 24 at Schiphol.

Registered to Cathedral of Tomorrow at that time. Originally NW ship - N129US, later PT-DZK of Pignatari! It later became N360WS and N360Q with a diverse array of operators, before becoming C-GYVI of Air Spray in January 2003. Although a 1959 build, this aircraft remains in service in 2021 with Air Spray.

N129US with Northwest Airlines until Jan 70. A few operators later, in Dec 76, it was registered to the Cathedral of Tomorrow / Rex Humbard Foundation. Rex Humbard was an American Evangelist who became famous with his TV shows. The flags on the aircraft represent all the counties it (and the foundation) visited. By the time this photo was taken it was owned, since Sep 81, by National Leasing Corporation. To TPI International Apr 85 and re-reg N360Q 3 months later. It then went on to fly with a myriad of operators and several registrations until stored at Red Deer AB 2007 as C-GYVI Air Spray.

Much cooler than a biz-jet!

N8LG was reregistered N360Q in July 1985.

Delivered new to Northwest Orient as N129US, serving them until January 1970. Flew for the Humbard Foundation from August 1977 until September 1981.
