After a long career all over the world (refer to Photo ID 656384 for details), this 1986 built airframe ended up in Indonesia in late 2012. Since then, it's hauling cargo almost daily from the coastal city of Jayapura-Sentani to Wamena (Papua Province). It's first indonesian "stop" was Trigana Air (as PK-YSE) till April 2015, before taken over by Cardig Air which operated it for four years till December 2019. PK-BBC then changed ownership once again, currently flying for Jayawijaya under registration PK-JRB (2.). I was luckly to catch this airframe in all three indonesian airlines liveries.

This 1986 built airframe started its career as PT-TEA (Transbrasil). Next stops were Aloha Airlines & Vanguard Airlines (both as N303AL), then w/ America West Airlines as N330AW from July of 1997.

Safair then flew it as ZS-SMG before Trigana Air took it on strength as PK-YSE (04/2013). Cardig Air was next (PK-BBC), now w/ Jayawijaya Dirgantara as PK-JRB since 2019.
