This L-19E is currently based in Chavenay, near Paris. It retains its basic overall army green paint from its ALAT service years, the day-glo stickers have been added during its subsequent career as a glider tow.

This Bird Dog in fact is 50-1488 which was delivered to the US Army in 1951 to be shipped to Japan. It later went to South Korea, although not much of the history of this aircraft is known. It is also unclear why it wears "90538", which is not a Bird Dog serial.

Painted in the SVNAF colours it wore in the mid-1970s, this Bird Dog was taken on strength as an O-1A by the US Army as 51-4981 in 1951. In 1966 Cessna converted it to O-1G at Wichita and it was deployed to Vietnam. On 29 April 1975 a SVNAF major crammed his wife and five children aboard to escape advancing North Vietnamese forces. Flying out to sea in the hope of finding a rescue ship, he ran low on fuel but spotted USS Midway, its deck full with helicopters. He dropped a pleading note written on a chart and a number of Hueys and Chinooks were pushed over the side so he could land!

In 1966 Cessna converted it to O-1G at Wichita and it was deployed to Vietnam. On 29 April 1975 a SVNAF major crammed his wife and five children aboard to escape advancing North Vietnamese forces. Flying out to sea in the hope of finding a rescue ship, he ran low on fuel but spotted USS Midway, its deck full with helicopters. He dropped a pleading note written on a chart and a number of Hueys and Chinooks were pushed over the side so he could land!

This O-1C has BuNo 151776 and was delivered to the USN on 31 October 1963. The USN, however, never used this Bird Dog as it was immediately struck of charge the next day to be handed over to South Korea. This took place later in November 1963. For that reason it also received a USAF serial (63-12741), which was never carried on the aircraft. The South Korean Navy operated the aircraft under serial 51776. Since 2015, it is preserved at the gate of Pohang NAS as part of the 6th Air Wing collection.

This Bird Dog was built in 1952 to a 1951 USAF order and allocated the serial 51-12134. This was later represented as 0-12134 when the aircraft became more than 10 years old. This aircraft is thought to have gone to the Royal Thai Air Force, and from there to Australia. It was registered in Australia on 15 January 1997 and is currently, appropriately, VH-FAC.

This Bird Dog, although carrying USAF markings, never saw service with the USAF. Although the aircraft was taken up by the USAF on 22 January 1951, it was immediately (the next day) delivered to the US Army at Fort Mason in San Francisco and subsequently shipped to Japan, to be used by the Japanese Army (JGSDF), first as H-1002, later as 11002. It remained active in Japan until the 1980s before it was shipped back to the USA and entered the private market (in 1989).
