Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAAF as 42-101231 in 1944. Sold as N5131B in 1956 and used by a number of operators. Used by Trans Continental Airlines from 1981 to 1982. To the Mexican Air Force as TEC-6047. I identified and photographed it on the dump at Mexico City in 1996. Preserved at the Explora Center, Leon, Mexico by 2001.
