Delivered to the USAF in 1952 as 51-3826 and transferred to the US Dept of Agriculture in 1975 as N203GB. Bought by Florida Aircraft Leasing in April 1981, registered as 6Y-JKM in 1982 and to Lineas Aereas Mayas of Guatemala as TG-SAS later the same year. Seen here still wearing its former USAF colour scheme, by late 1989 it was registered as N54G and after a re-paint continued to fly freight out of the Miami area until sold as 9Q-CGZ in 1996. Impounded at Rand Airport in South Africa in by 1997, it remained stored there for over 23 years, finally being scrapped in October 2021 This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
