Description: here seen with additional "TNT Skypak" titles in the tail, a parcel company for which it operated for, and on the fuselage also small "The World Wide Couriers" titles were adopted (all see upper left inset). On February 11 1987 it went to Belgian Printing Services, established as Aviation Sales Company on February 28 1975 and renamed to its current name on March 19 1980 basing this airframe at Brussels Airport. On December 27 1988 it went to Arrow-Air basing the Piper at Antwerp airport. On March 9 1993 it moved on to MAES Airline Express Services, also based at Antwerp airport. Since 1996 it was laid up for a couple of years at Antwerp airport and left on October 1 1998 the register. It migrated afterwards to the States as "N2308R" for a Belgian private owner (W. Uytterhaegen) based at Grimbergen airfield and is such still current (in the US registered to Aviation Service Center Inc).
