K25 slide scan. Built 1943. Modified 1964 for Cummins Diesel with many refinements: R1830-75 engines, removal of cargo door, squared off wingtips, fully enclosed mainwheel doors, retractable tailwheel, speed cowlings, large spinners, radar nose, wingroot fairings, Viemaster windows and modified hydraulics. In later years it was reconverted to feighter with cargo door installed again. After 14 static years on a farm in Oregon it was ferried to Oshkosh in October 2018 for BT-67 conversion. From 1985 it was operated by Mohican Air Service and is seen here being prepared for an engine run.
