Swissair's first DC-9 HB-IFA from July 7 20, 1966, the airline opted for the larger capacity DC-9-30 series and this aircraft was returned to McDonnell Douglas (N8500) in 1968. A lease to Dominicana before it was sold to Forbes magazine in 1973, it was converted with an executive interior. Registered N60FM in 1967 christened "Capitalist Tool", it continued many years as an executive transport. Pictured with Westinghouse (1977 - 85), later owners included Harrah's (N2H), ALG Aeroleasing (HB-IFA) and Genesis Aviation (N120NE). It was stored at Plan de Guadalupe International, Mexico in 2018.
