Ex Bu37537 delivered in December 1945 and struck off in December 1956. Became N6651D in 1957 and was converted to a borate bomber by Wenairco in 1962. Flew with various operators until February 1984 when bought by SI Verschoot of Custom Farm Service of Montana who placed the aircraft with the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola where it was displayed unmarked until 1988, when put into storage. Displayed as 37537 on the USS Lexington in Corpus Christie by 1993 and awaiting restoration with the Commemorative Air Force at Midland, Texas by 2000.
