The fake serial of this C-47 is derived from its Navy serial, 50761, as this aircraft originaly was delivered as a R4D-6 to the US Navy in October 1944. It was later transferred to the US Army and redesignated as an EC-47J. After a short civil career with the US Department of Agriculture and the US Forest Service the aircraft ended up on display near Gate 20 at Tinker AFB in 1984. It became part of the Tinker AFB Heritage Air Park in October 1988, which itself was renamed the Charles B Hall Air Park in 2002.
