Former US Navy BuNo Bu153170 was delivered to Portugal as 5512 on 16 April 1982. It served Esq302 until it was withdrawn from use in 1998. After storage at Montreal, the Corsair was moved to Alverca FAP Depot (DGMFA) in February 2009. From August 2010, it was used as a fire trainer at Ota air base where it was last reported in late 2018. The SLUF is here seen while finding its way to runway 10 of Gilze Rijen during the out-of-the-area Tactical Leadership Programme 1995.
