At the time the aircraft had only recently been acquired by the CAF and the titles of a former operator, Ortner Air Service, can still just be discerned under the paint on the upper fuselage. Subsequently restored in USAAF markings and named "China Doll", it was for many years a common sight at US airshows, but in recent times it has been stored outside the premises of the CAF Southern California Wing at Camarillo Airport, CA. However, according to the Wing's Facebook page, it has now been moved inside and will be restored to static display condition.

The aircraft, which originally served with the Republic of China Air Force/RoCAF, was on loan from the USAF Museum. When the CAF moved to Midland, TX., in 1991 it was relocated to Warfield Air National Guard Base, Martin State Airport, Middle River, MD., where it was refurbished, and is now displayed painted in Maryland ANG markings with the false serial "10004" and can be seen there on Google Maps street view.
