Prior to this it operated for quite a number of different airlines. I have found no information about this particular airline, Sincereways. I don't believe that the aircraft was ever flown to Kenya but remained stored as such at Opa Locka since circa Oct 96 . By October 1998 it was registered N600UA with Universal Airlines and, whilst operating for them, was damaged beyond repair after a wheels up landing at Cold Bay Alaska 12 Jun 2011. The crew got distracted and forgot to lower landing gear!
