HP-950 was a 1965 built DC8-55F freighter delivered as frame number 45678 to Japan Air Lines where it served under registration JA-8014 an was named "Asama", after services in the Far East country on 16th June 1982 it was aquired by Inair where it served, in full colors, untill 1985. Unfortunately in fact International Air -Inair Panama- did not survive beyond the mid 80's and the nicely painted fleet had to be sold. Although life in the Central America country was ended for this ship the new owner became a Miami based carrier named Agro Air International and under whom services were operated with the US registration N55FB, due to leasing company nature of the new ownership s/n 45678 spent a great period flying fo other carriers such as Aerochago (lsd in February 1986), Tropical Airways (lsd in May 1988), Belize Air International (lsd in August 1990), Tampa Colombia (lsd in Jannuary 1992); during all this periods registration remain unchanged and still today this plane remains ownership of Agro Air while it is leased and flown in full colors by Fine Air.
