Ex RAAF as A97-215 until 1977 , then it had a rather chequered career , operating to and from south America for various outfits. In December 1988 it departed Mena AR bound for Africa but only got as far as here and was impounded by US Customs. Everything about it was fake from the export permits to ownership (African Cargo was a shell company ) , After the legal hearings were complete it was ferried to FLL to be eventually scrapped in December 1997
