Description: seen ten years later far from its home base, it soldiered on like this for a few decades but its base moved in April 1992 to Saint-Ghislain airfield after Grimbergen airfield had to close temporary its doors due to a political decision. On August 6 2001 it was cancelled from the register and migrated ten days later to the States "N27BY" for Schuybroek Aviation Inc but remained the first couple of years with DAS and is still current (with Schuybroek Aviation) but since June 2024 offered for sale while in storage at St Ghislain airfield.
