Photo Comment

World War II veteran 44-72059 also served with the Swedish (26142), Nicaraguan and Bolivian (513) Air Forces during 1946 - 1995. World Jet brought the aircraft back to the USA in January 1995 as N711WJ and quickly sold it privately as N951HB in September. It underwent extensive restoration 2002 - 20 to fly as Royal Canadian Air Force 9253 (and won the Best Fighter - Silver Wrench Award at AirVenture 2021). The actual RCAF 9253 is flying as N51JT at the time of uploading.
