Photo Comment

Delivered to the air force in October 1954 and withdrawn in March 1984 with 1468 flight hours. Is was sold to a garage in Herisau as a static exhibit and moved to Hausen bei Ossingen. Years of weather have taken their toll. nowadays the airframe is stored in a sorry state behind the FAA Museum
