Over 1,200 (up to possibly 2,000) examples of the Travel Air 2000/3000/4000 family were produced from 1925-1930.

This FM-2 was one of the last Wildcats built and was accepted by the US Navy as '86960' only days before the official Japanese surrender and the end of WWII. It spent most of its military career in storage at Bethpage, NY and was stricken from the inventory in 1947. The aircraft was restored in the late 1970s and is on display wearing the markings of a FM-2 from VC-70, a composite squadron which operated from the escort carrier U.S.S. Salamaua (CVE-96) from May to September 1945.

This plane was built as a CS-102 by Aero at Vodochody, Czechoslovakia and Taken on Charge with the Sily Powietrzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (Polish AF) as '536'. It was subsequently converted to a SBLim-2 with new assigned '5036'. In June 1992 it was bought privately and exported to the USA, gaining the registration N115PW. In February 1995 a CofA was issued and it was re-registered NX115PW. In September 2007 it became part of, and based at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum.
