Almost unbelievably the aircraft recovered from this and went on to serve with North American Airlines. In 1984 it was sold to Scenic Air Tours of Honolulu, but never made it there as on 5th April that year it crashed at Scottsdale, AZ., whilst on the ferry flight to Hawaii.

Converted by Riley in 1968. Previously known as Air Miami and operating as an Air Florida Commuter airline for a short while, North American Airlines began operating all flights under its own name on December 1, 1981. Unable to compete with well-established PBA and Air Florida, North American ceased flights in December 1982. This a/c was acquired by Scenic Air Tours (AZ) and, on its ferry flight, was written off on approach to Scottsdale AZ 5 Apr 84.
