Aircraft ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing in a field near Grande Prairie airport, AB on 29 June 2000. Collided with a ditch adjacent to a road, slid across the road and came to rest in another ditch on the opposite side. The #1 engine was torn off and burst in flames. The wreck was dismantled and trucked back to Red Deer for spares use. Fuselage first noticed at Red Deer in this condition in 2002.
