On 2 Oct 1983 crashed at Twentynine Palms, San Bernardino County, California, while on a practice bombing run. The two crew were killed after ejection. Cause was a faulty patch on the outer wing which came off and tore the outer wing from the aircraft. At the time it was with VMA(AW)-121, USMC. Photo by Denis Hughes.

It was sold to Nor-Fly as LN-KLV in August 1977, and to North Cariboo Flying Service as C-GRNB in July 1979 passing to Southern Frontier Air Transport with the same registration in June 1984. In November 1986 it was acquired by Renown Aviation as N202RA and still wore their livery when photographed.

This registration was cancelled on 26th August 2002 when the aircraft was sold to Air Spray in Canada as C-GZVM and converted as a fire bomber.

The aircraft had been withdrawn from use and acquired by Renown Aviation for parting out, although the registration was not cancelled until 7th August 2013.

This aircraft received major damage on 1st October 1962 when it flew through tree tops on approach to a skip bombing target at Avon Park Gunnery Range, FL. By February 2002 the aircraft had been placed on a pylon at the same location, and can still be seen there on Google Earth imagery date April 2023.
