This Pucará was originally registered A-509 but was re-registered AX-04. In 1986 it was retired from service and preserved at a roundabout in Río Tercero, Córdoba province. The roundabout is now named "Plazoleta Primer Teniente Mario Victor Nivoli". The plane was repainted with historic registration A-537 to commemorate a battle in which the original A-537 shot down a Westland Scout, but A-537 was lost due to bad weather.
