I believe somewhere on this site someone once posted the history of the plane. If I remember right, it was eventually sold to another company and repainted and used for a while, and eventually it was retired.

Edit: I found it. I didn't have the info quite right. This is what Cooney posted:

AOM was acquired by Air France, and is now a part of that. It no longer exists as a seperate entity.

The Alizée plane's tail number was F-GGMB. By late 2001, it had been painted white again.
The plane was sold in 2002, hopped airlines and registrations a couple times, and is currently in service with 1Time Airline, out of South Africa, since 2003. It now packs the tail number ZS-OPZ, and is bright red. I believe it is mostly used for the run from Cape Town of Johannesburg
Here is the thread: http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/show...ighlight=plane

This is one of the many reasons I miss Cooney.
