Ex Bu124715. Entered Honduran service in 1956 and finally withdrawn in 1980. The three kill marks refer to two El Salvadorean Corsairs and a Cavalier Mustang shot down by Colonel Fernando Soto in the brief 'Football War' with El Salvador in 1969. Having deteriorated from being displayed outside for many years, the aircraft underwent a restoration starting in 2012 and is now displayed under cover.
