When International Air Response (formerly T&G) moved their base of operation from Chandler Memorial to Coolidge Municipal Airport, they scrapped many of the redundant propliners that had been stored on the field. This aircraft was saved from the scrapman and I believe it is still parked at the airport in 2018.
