HB-ILY was used on relief flights into Biafra in 1969-70 for the Red Cross. The fin is from another aircraft, 52-2759, scrapped at Davis-Monthan. While this is also sometimes listed as operated by Balair, the Red Crioss contractor, it was not one of the nine C-97s that were allocated Swiss registrations for the Biafra airlift.
