Delivered to the USAAF as 44-76803, then spent time in service with the RNZAF as NZ3543. Recently this aircraft and ZK-DAK were purchased by new Australian operator Gooney Bird Adventures Darwin. The aircraft arrived at Essendon airport where the work to put it onto the Australian VH register will begin and certify it in the Limited category.
