Thanks for the head's up, However, after some extensive research done many years ago, I am of the opinion that this airplane had been misidentified as 44-83728 in many aircraft listings and F-BGOE was actually 44-85728, the TWA conversion airplane (NX4600) that went to Iran and then France to operate as F-BGOE. Look at the fuselage windows and match it to the TWA airplane, plus other tie-ups that match the airplanes and would suggest a transpositon of the serial in some listings.
