Previous registered HB-LNS from 1983 as part of the Geoterrex geophysical survey fleet. Registered C-GILU in October 1985, the aircraft is pictured being readied for a trans-Atlantic ferry flight to Nantes, France, with stops at Gander, NL and Narsarsuaq, Greenland. Tragically on the next leg, the aircraft crashed during an ILS approach to Reykjavik, Iceland in the early evening of August 2,1988.
