Photo Comment

Delivered to metals and mining multinational Rio Tinto Zinc in July 1970. The aircraft was transferred to Australia in April 1972 as VH-ASM for Associated Airlines and was operated for Rio Tinto subsidiary Conzinc Riotinto of Australia (CRA). Returned to Grumman in 1984, it had numerous owners and registrations, the last being XC-LKS. Seized by the Procuraduría General de la República (circa 2007?), it was stored for some time before scrapped.
