One of 4 of the type stored at Van Nuys at the time that were allegedly implicated in the Iran - Contra scandal where senior US government officials facilitated the supply of weapons to Contra rebels in Nicaragua. The aircraft was last reported derelict at Komatipoort, South Africa, and being used as a road side advertising hoarding.
