Effectively Two US owners since new. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for the first 19 years
based in Akron, Ohio. In 2005 the Aircraft was bought by an individual in Virginia who transferred ownership to an entity formed to own the Aircraft.

This will be the first airplane in the Saab world-wide fleet to have this new digital processor effectively bringing this Aircrafts flight instruments up to the very latest standard as now being installed on new production aircraft
