Delivered to Braniff in November 1956, N5903 was bought by Club America Travel Club in November 1969. Put to work by T & G Aviation in 1976, the aircraft is pictured undergoing regular maintence standing by for the 1982 fire season in Washington state. The aircraft was lost on October 9, 1986 at Dakar, Senegal. Taking off to spray for locusts, a fire warning for number 4 engine came on. Shutting the engine down and feathering the propeller, the aircraft lost altitude and ditched in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast.
