Built for the USAAF as 43-30670 and to the Brazilian AF in 1946 as FAB2035. Purchased in the late 1970s by VOTEC as PT-KYX and later by Manaus based Rico Taxi Aereo. Sold in February 1989 and transported by road from Roraima in northern Brasil, to Sítio do Carroção near the town of Tatui in Sao Paulo state. Still present there in 2022 as part of a tourist attraction. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
