Delivered 1982 as D-IABB, reregistered D-CABB same year. While operating NS 108 from Hannover to Düsseldorf 8 February 1988 suffered a lightning strike in severe weather. Loss of electrical power led to an uncontrollable flying condition and break up in mid air resulting in the loss of all on board. With German registration classes tied to the Maximum Take Off Weight an increase soon after delivery necessitated an early reregistration.
