#184 was delivered new to Syrian Arab Airlines in 1965. It was donated to Air Mali in 1970, but since they had little use
for it, #184 was leased to CTA, then Corse Air, who eventually bought it.
as far as i can tell, it went to Air Cal in the mid '70s (which is when i flew on it)
saw rather a lot of it during the '80s when i was based in Vila
F-GEPC as it was March 1988
Withdrawn from Air Cal service in December that year, it went to Columbia.
late in 1995, it sufferered damage to the nose gear while landing on a salt pan
in the Mexican desert. after its cargo of cocaine was unloaded, the aircraft was destroyed with a bulldozer and explosives.
colours white, silver, polished metal. most decals from scratch.
