Delivered to Caledonian Airways (that's the later British Airways one and not the 'original' one that became British Caledonian) in Jun-92 as G-BUDZ, it was immediately sub-leased to Nationair Canada in Jul-92 and was re-registered C-FNXY in Sep-92 for the 1992/93 winter season.  It was returned to Caledonian and the lessor in Apr-93 as G-BUDZ.  It was leased to Ambassador Airways in May-93 and sub-leased to AVIANCA Colombia in Nov-93 for the winter season, returning to Ambassador in Apr-94 until they ceased operations in Nov-94 when it was repossessed by the lessor. Originally stored at London-Gatwick (LGW) &amp; later Belfast (BFS) it was temporarily re-registered N593KA by the owner, Kawasaki Leasing. In May-95 it was leased to Sunways Airlines in Sweden as SE-DSL and operated with them until Sep-97 when they too ceased operations and it was repossessed again, becoming N593KA.  It was stored at Luton UK (LTN) until it was sold to Babcock &amp; Brown Aircraft Management (BBAM) in Mar-98 and leased to Royal Airlines in Canada as C-GRYK.  In May-01 Royal Airlines were bought out by Canada 3000 who themselves ceased trading in Nov-01 after the '9/11' atrocity in New York.  The aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Mojave, CA, USA (MHV) as N593RA.  In Apr-02 it was leased to Air 2000 in the UK as G-OOOZ.  Air 2000 was renamed First Choice in Mar-04 and merged into Thomson Airways in May-08. During it's time as G-OOOZ the aircraft spent numerous winter seasons sub-leased to Skyservice Canada. In Jan-11 it was returned to the lessor and sold to Federal Express/FedEx as N960FD. After a period in storage at Victorville, CA, USA (VCV), it was converted into a freighter in May-12 and continues in service (as of Nov-13) with FedEx.
