Although painted as an SNJ-5 this aircraft never served with the US Navy, but was operated by the USAAF/USAF as serial 44-80858. It subsequently flew with the RCAF and later under the MDAP with the Spanish Air Force as E.16-24, until withdrawn from use in 1981 and returned to US Government ownership. Sold at auction at Torrejón Air Base, Spain in July 1983 it passed into civilian ownership and took the registration N107FG.
