Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAAF as 42-100662 in 1943. Stored at Davis Monthan AFB in 1967. Trucked to Basler Turbo Conversions at Oshkosh, WI in 1994 and registered as N40359. Rebuilt as BT67 #36 for the Colombia Air Force as 1670 in 2000. It was damaged in an accident and rebuilt as BT67 # 41 in 2002. There is a mystery as to the identity of the original 1670 and what happened to it. The conversion of 1670 to a BT67 probably used parts from both aircraft and took on the identity of this one.
