After acceptance by the USAF, this Bird Dog was returned to Cessna for modification to O-1G prior to supply to Japan under MAP where it operated with the Army as 11107. On return to the US Government it was assigned to the Civil Air Patrol as N5074G before sale as a glider tug in 1987. After a number of ownership change it was sold in the UK in 2017 to be based at Membury. Note the large whip aerial now refitted
