This former USN Skyraider operrated with the French Air Force and the Gabonese Air Force before entering the civil register. After its stay in France in USMC markings, it was shipped to the US. There it was impounded by the US Government as an illegal shipment (in 2009) and transferred to the USN (in 2012) and sent to the National Museum Of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, FL.
