With former identities of 44-74427 in the USAF and 9592 with the RCAF, this Mustang went to Trans Florida Aviation as N9148R in 1959. It was re-purchased in 1962 by North American Rockwell for demonstrations by R. A. "Bob" Hoover. On August 9, 1970, an oxygen bottle exploded during servicing and the fuselage was severely damaged. Rebuilt using parts from another Mustang, the aircraft went through several other warbird owners before moving to France in 1998 as F-AZSB.
