Not a bad photo for a 12 year old with a Kodak Brownie Camera! When I took this photo the a/c was assigned to the National Parachute Facility at NAF El Centro, CA. Transferred to the USAF in December 1969 as 54-137741. Exported to Cambodian Air Force in 1972. In 1975 a Cambodian pilot used this a/c to escape to Thailand. To Philippine Air Force in 1976 as 137741. Withdrawn from use, exported to the U.S. and registered as N2052H. Currently registered as N1728T as of September 2003.
