Maverick was set up to specialise in transporting inseminated cows to the Shah of Iran, who was keen to build up cattle ranching. A second 707, N791PA, was also acquired. However the business ran into diffculty once the Shah was overthrown by Muslim revolutionaries in early 1979. One of the Maverick's aircraft was temporarily stranded at Tehran Airport for some days and cattle barns that the company had financed in Iran were seized by the revolutionary government. While efforts were made to keep operating, the company ceased operations some time later, its primary business having dried up.
