Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAF as 43-17253 in October 1945 and also operated for the Navy as 56549. Transferred to NAS Guantanama (Cuba) around 1971-1972. To air Response in July 1986 as N99AS. Stored at Falcon Field between 1997 and 2002. Later acquired by Brooks Air Fuel (Alaska), but the aircraft never left the airport. It was scrapped around MArch/April 2010, althought the cockpit and forward fuselage were preserved. Those parts were seen at Concrete (WA) in July 2012.
