Ex. PH-MSV with the Rijkluchtvaartschool where it had quite an eventful life with 1 near miss with the PH-RLX (SB91) and 2 forced landings that resulted in damage. The registration was eventually cancelled mid-September 1973, even though the aircraft was already reregistered N5879 on January 2, 1973. The new owner was listed as Paris Jet Inc. (USA). In the USa, the aircraft had many different owners and suffered yet another forced landing with damage. Info per early 2017 is that the frame is stored at Calhoun, GA, USA.
