Description: build in 1954, this second hand Piper (ex USAAF) was registered on December 17 1975 Skyworks which was a company based at Antwerp airport for bannertowing, here seen such in a livery without titles. On September 9 1979, while enroute making advertisements with a banner overhead Mechelen (Belgium) it encountered fuel starvation and crash landed near a motorway without casualty of the pilot on board but whereby the airframe was damaged beyond repair. A crash report (in Dutch) can be found here. It was on January 11 1980 cancelled from the register.
