This former USN C-47A, N96BF is undergoing conversion to a Basler BT-67 in a hangar on the north side of KOSH airport. The fuselage stretch or plug can be seen in primer green and the registration is hand written on the lower part of the nose. The aircraft was displayed at the 1992 Farnborough International Air Show. The aircraft was written off in a fatal crash near Lobito, Central African Republic on Dec. 15, 1994 while flying with SL Aviation Services as N96BF. Both pilots were killed.
