On display on top of a club at San Isidro is this unknown T-34B Mentor. The aircraft is one of a batch of twelve former US Navy Mentors delivered to the Dominican Republic in 1977. The surviving examples were all sold, which could well make this a composite of several surviving parts from crashes examples noted at San Isidro previously. Later given fake serial 1605.
