Two months later on September 19 it went to Aeroclub Keiheuvel, established on October 18 1956 and based at Balen-Keiheuvel airport, here seen such at its home base in a livery without titles. On July 1 1987 it went to a couple private users (R. Van Sandt & M. Aerts), same airfield. Half a year later on February 9 it migrated to another private user (G. Styl) basing the Piper at Antwerp airport. On August 31 1994 it moved on to another private user (J. Schatteman) basing it at St-Hubert airfield whereby it was repainted in the Belgian Air Force livery as "L-57".
