This Super Cub was manufactured in 1952 for the Portuguese Air Force, carrying the serial FAP 3202. It was later sold on the civil market, being registered CR-TAO. In 1974 it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-FXH on 11 October that year. In more recent times it has been repainted into this fictitious - though not unattractive - US Navy colour scheme, wearing its Portuguese Air Force serial as a Bu number!
