Allocated 42-15766 but transferred to the RCAF as FJ905. Returned to the US in 1943 and imported back into Canada in 1973 as above. Exported as N6781C in August 1997 and current as such in 2021 painted as FJ905.

Later received an enlarged rudder

The PT-27 designation was given to 300 Kaydets supplied to three RAF flying schools in Canada in the spring of 1942. This one, serials 42-15591 and FD989, went to No 36 EFTS at Pearce, Alberta. However, the open cockpits proved too cold in the Canadian winter and the Stearmans were exchanged for Fairchild Cornells from December 1942. This airframe then served with USAAF schools in Arizona and Texas. It was sold for $372 after the war and flew as a cropduster in the 1950s.
