Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAF in April 1951 as 48-636. To a private owner in 1955 as N2573B, then to Mexico in 1956 as XB-GEY. Back to the US in May 1968, again as N2573B. Registration cancelled in Dec 1970, and donated to the Pima museum in 1973. The c/n for this airframe (ex 48-636) is widely quoted as 2520, but C-125s 48-628 to 48-640 are c/n 2513 to 2525, not c/n 2512 to 2524 as previously thought (because c/n 2512 was not built). This means that 48-636/N2573B/XB-GEY is in fact c/n 2521.
