Registered in 1959 as N3771A and intended for the Honduran AF, but sale fell through. During static restoration in the late 1970s at Mojave, it is reported that the data plate was inadvertently swapped for that of F4U 97349, leading to it being painted as that aircraft. Displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola as such from the mid-1980s. Loaned to Pima by 1997 and now displayed with its correct identity.
