I've only found a patchwork of history for this 1972 Beech Queen Air. Pictured with Air North, the airline acquired the aircraft shortly after it was imported into Canada in the summer of 1992. It next went to Venture Aviation Services for about a year in 1997, leaving Canada in 1998. Next solid information show it as N169BB in 2002 and it was shortly after intercepted by the Honduran Air Force running drugs. Forced to land at Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport on the island of Roatán, Honduras, the aircraft was impounded there with a crudely applied registration.
