Often incorrectly quoted as c/n CV-523 ex 44-34012, but that aircraft was w/o in the Philppines on 5 Jun 1945 when damaged on a rescue mission and abandoned. HK-2115P was officially registered in Jun 1978 as serial number "34012" (its former US Navy ID), which makes it c/n 1566. This was registered as CF-IEE in Jul 1955 and damaged in an accident in 1970. The fuselage was apparently transported to Colombia and used in the rebuild of HK-2115P. It was inspected in 2008 and found to have an Aero Corporation plate with serial 34012. In 2017 it was bought by a German and temporarily stored in Molbergen, Germany since Jan 2018. In 2019 it was transported to Meidl, Fertoszentmiklós, Hungary to be restored by Rare Bird Aviation.

Delivered to the USAAF as 43-16082 in 1944. To N17779 in 1972 then to TALA as HK-3037 in 1983. Fuselage was moved to Villavicencio by 1997 and it went back into service with Aerolineas Llaneras.

Ex N17779, registered Apr 1983 to TALA Colombia and when this picture was taken it was under maintenance and subsequently transferred to Aliansa in 1997 and to Aerolíneas Llaneras in 2002.
