From Aug 1980 until the early 1990s, Harvard F-AZBE was c/n 88-12127. But in 1993 that airframe was rebuilt as an NA-68 replica with new c/n SA-31, and the registration F-AZBE was given to this aircraft, c/n 121-42835. It is ex USAAF 44-82113, USN 112067, then Spanish AF E.16-179 and later C.6-179, and was acquired by Jean-Baptiste Salis in Jan 1979. Kept in storage until the early 1990s, then restored in these USAF markings with fake serial. It was registered as F-AZBE on 2 Mar 1993, still under the old and now incorrect c/n 88-12127 instead of c/n 121-42835. It is sometimes incorrectly quoted as c/n 88-12304 ex USN 27268, Spain C.6-180, but that airframe crashed at San Bartolome de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) on 9 Mar 1977.

Ex Argentinian air force. Reregistered N86FR in 1999.

Ex USAAF 41-1964, became N53018 prior to 1963. Came to France in early 2011. Unfortunately this aircraft crashed in a field just south of Beaulieu, France on 23 Feb 2020, with the loss of two lives.

Undergoing restoration at Dynamic Aviation. I was lucky that the aircraft was outside the hangar for a few days being cleaned with a dry ice bead blaster. It has recently been re-registered N8610 to reflect its military serial, 48-610. The aircraft is in the 5th year of a comprehensive restoration and is starting to be put back together. Hopefully the restoration will be completed in 2 1/2 to 3 years and I'm looking forward to its first post-restoration flight.
