In 1970 Vance International Airways was purchased by McCulloch Oil Company, changing the name to McCulloch International Airlines. Re-equipped with American Airlines Lockheed Electras, they flew potential land buyers to properties near Lake Havasu City, AZ. This aircraft would see the color scheme updated by changing the green cheat line to red and eventually adding the McCulloch logo. Later with Ansett ANA and Evergreen International Airlines, the aircraft was with the Armada Argentina as 6-P-101 when it crashed on September 29, 1989 at Almirante Zar Naval Air Station at Trelew, Argentina.

This aircraft was operated by Global Associates, a joint venture of the Atlas Corp. and H.C. Smith Construction Co., and used to fly personnel and supplies to the various bases that supported the Kwajalein Missile Range, headquartered on Kwajalein Atoll. It was one of two Electras used during the contract period from Nov 1979 to an unspecified date in mid-1980. Photo by Tim White.

This a/c was delivered to LANSA on 26 January 1971, the third of four Electras operated by the airline. Two were lost in fatal crashes, the second one occuring on 24 December 1971, which resulted in the Peruvian government shutting down LANSA permanently.

Winner Airways purchased this Electra from Eastern Airlines on 6 April, 1970. On 10 June 1970 Eastern repossessed the aircraft for non-payment.
