It was next leased to Aerolineas Argentinas of Buenos Aires, Argentina, registered JA8686, from December 5, 1967 to August 13, 1968.

Two days later, it was sold to Japan's Toa Airways which was renamed Toa Domestic Airlines when acquired by Japan Air Lines in 1971; the aircraft was named Satsuma in 1971. Sold to Mid-Pacific Airlines of Honolulu, Hawaii, on November 24, 1982 and reregistered N118MP. It was sold to a leasing company, KOA Holdings, in August 1988 and sold to Aerosierra de Durango of Durango, Mexico, in July 1989.

It was withdrawn from use and stored in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1990 until purchased by the US's Gala Air Service who registered it N603GL. The last sale was to Falcon General, Inc. of Plant City, Florida, on August 25, 1999. This aircraft was subsequently scrapped at Opa Locka Airport, Miami, Florida, after 2005."
