PH-BUK was transported by ship from Amsterdam Airport to Lelystad for preservation in the Aviodrome museum. On the late evening of 15 December 2004 the disassembled airplane was pulled onto a floating barge. The little tug boats keeping it in place. Later that night they started the journey to Lelystad though the city of Amsterdam. A large banner with all the sponsors was attached to the airplane for the ride. Special banners for Saan, the transport company specialised in these kind of transports for both KLM and Aviodrome, and one banner for NVLT, the union of Dutch aircraft engineers.
