Languishing in the caribbean sun, this grand old lady will not take to the skies again. She once flew for Carib West before being sold and used for spares, her registration being cancelled in March 1975. She started her days as 42-92326 before going to Europe and flying as F-BEFN. Her twilight years saw her returning to the USA as N16399 before heading out to Barbados to finish her days in the sun......................R.I.P.
