D-EILS is purchased new from what was at the time the largest private flight school in Germany, after that of Lufthansa, to be used as an advanced trainer CPL/IR ( hence the final brands -ILS) and is based in Essen where he remains for much of his career. It was acquired by a private owner who kept it for a short time in the Czech Republic and finally, after a complete restoration, became part of the Asteraviation fleet.

It is then sold to the NATO Flying Club in Oostende, Belgium, where it arrives after a ferry flight via Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland where it is used by the employees of the headquarters of NATO Europe for tourism.

Built in France by Reims Aviation under license Cessna, I-PROS is purchased by an airline based air taxi and cargo based near Frankfurt in Germany that registers it as Public Passenger Transport (!) and to transfer the C130 civilian pilots that this company employs in cargo operations.
