One of five Kingcobras acquired by Honduras in 1948/49. Four returned to a collector in the US in 1960 but this one remained to be displayed outside the officers club at Base Aérea Coronel Hernán Acosta Mejía, Toncontin. Displayed variously as '401' and '214' the correct serial is in fact 403 ex 43-11732. The aircraft has since been refurbished and now carries correct serial.
