Delivered to the USAF in October 1952 as serial 51-3830 it served until consigned to MASDC at Tucson in December 1974. It was sold in May 1976 and registered N44916, but appears to have never been converted for legitimate use and was impounded with a cargo of Marijuana at Valledupar, Colombia in 1990. In November 2001 it was moved to the Parque de los Helados, (Ice Cream Park), in Valledupar where it became an education centre. Remarkably it can still be seen there on Google Earth at what is now called the Parque De La Provincia. Thanks to Ruud Leeuw's excellent web site for much of the above.
