Distant shot, aircraft parked far away from the show area. This Commando was delivered to the JASDF in January 1955 and was withdrawn from use in 1978. It became N5579Z on 31 July 1980 with Alaksa Rental & Sales Co. (Cliff Everts), who traded it to the USAF Museum in 1986. They loaned it to the Memorial Air Park at Hurlburt Field, FL, for display in its original markings as USAF 44-77424.
