One of seven airworthy aircraft on display at the Lyon Air Museum. All seven are in immaculate condition and look as if they were painted and polished yesterday. This nice little Bird Dog is ex French Army 24729, now painted in the markings of the US Army 183rd Seahorses during their duty in Vietnam, with fake serial "0-24729". Registration N4583V is carried just below the tailplane, barely visible in this photo. It was registered to Mark Foster in September 2009, and was still current as such by December 2020.
