@mancavgeek According to Wikipedia, “Air Columbus was a charter airline based in Portugal, which was operational between 1989 and 1994.” So that would narrow the field sightly .

Records I was able to find onliner show this didn’ go to it’s next operator until 1995, so that’s why I used that date.
I was hoping the Air 2000 B757 and Air Bridge V.953 would help, but that B757 was operated until 1995, and Air Bridge retired their last Merchantman in 1996, so didn’t really help much.
