Delivered to Trans-Canada Air Lines as CF-TGN in April 1955, it served until September 1962 and then served with various corporate owners until acquired by Go in October 1979. When photographed it had recently been resprayed in this new colour scheme, and, according to the Vickers Viscount Network it was fitted with a new luxury 19-seat interior with video players and telephones. Although, (again according to VVN), it changed hands a couple of more times before it was scrapped in April 1993, I have been unable to find a photograph of it away from Tucson, or indeed with a full set of engines.

British band "Bad Company" used this Go Viscount for their 1977 US tour (photographer unknown)

Carefree David was an inclusive tour operator in the early 1980s.

The last thing I wanted on a trip to Willow Run was rain. But that's what I got, and lots of it too! This aircraft was re-reg N460RC in Dec 83. Retired around the early 90s.
