This 228 has a nice cartoon artwork applied to the nose, depicting a Dornier aircraft doing a scenic flight over the Grand Canyon. It was test-flown in 1987 as D-CBDX, then delivered to Fischer Brothers Aviation (operating for Midway Connection) as N264MC in Feb 1988. It was wfu in Sep 1991, then sold to Martinaire in May 1994. It served with them until sold to Vision Air as N405VA in Dec 2002. The aircraft was permanently withdrawn from use on 30 Jun 2017 and stored here at North Las Vegas Airport. The Dornier has been here ever since, owned by the International Bank Of Commerce since Feb 2019.
