This Beaver spent ten years from 1953 serving in Japan. Civilianised as N9239, around 1975 it was put to work by the North Carolina Forest Service. Following delivery to the USAFM in 1980, it was put on display as seen here in 2003 in high visibility marks typical of USAF L-20/U-6 aircraft during the late 1950s and early 1960s This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
