The real, historically significant HB-IRN is now on display at Lucerne. This is a former USAAF frame 41-20058 that later went on to fly in Scandinavian with DDL Danish Air Lines (OY-DCA), SAS (OY-KLE), Kar-Air (OH-KVA) and Nor-Fly (LN-KLV). It was sold as N65371. After retirement, from 1976 the plane was displayed on the viewing terrace at Frankfurt in 1989 as N569R, it was moved to the Historic Aeroplane collection at MUC in 1993.
