This DC-10 was originally delivered to UTA as N54639 in January 1974 and didn't obtain this French registration until October 1983. After UTA was absorbed into Air France, the plane flew for the latter from December 1992 until March 1993 when it joined AOM (with time also operating for Cubana) . It went on to fly with Air Lib but was stored at Chateauroux (CHR) in February 2003 and later scrapped.
