Bet this aeroplane could tell some stories! Delivered to the USAAF in December 1944, it was withdrawn from military service in 1959. By 1987 it languished in a dealer's yard beside Davis-Monthan AFB. Thankfully, it was rescued in recent years and moved to Chino, California for eventual restoration.
