This Catalina was delivered to the Colombian Air Force as FAC612 in 1946. It was struck of charge by the FAC in 1974, but it had already been stored at the Bogota-Madrid airbase for several years by then. A private Colombian pilot purchased the aircraft together with former FAC619 and restored the aircraft in airworthy condition using parts from FAC619 as well. From 2003 until 2017 the aircraft deteriorated at Villavicencio. In December 2017 the aircraft was shipped to Germany and currently is being restored to flying condition by its new owner in Oldenburg.

Often incorrectly quoted as c/n CV-523 ex 44-34012, but that aircraft was w/o in the Philppines on 5 Jun 1945 when damaged on a rescue mission and abandoned. HK-2115P was officially registered in Jun 1978 as serial number "34012" (its former US Navy ID), which makes it c/n 1566. This was registered as CF-IEE in Jul 1955 and damaged in an accident in 1970. The fuselage was apparently transported to Colombia and used in the rebuild of HK-2115P. It was inspected in 2008 and found to have an Aero Corporation plate with serial 34012. In 2017 it was bought by a German and temporarily stored in Molbergen, Germany since Jan 2018. In 2019 it was transported to Meidl, Fertoszentmiklós, Hungary to be restored by Rare Bird Aviation.
