Photographed at Coast Guard Air Station Miami. The aircraft was built as USAF MC-131A Samaritan 52-5785 and served until retired to the MASDC "Boneyard" at Tucson in February 1975. In April 1976 it was transferred to the USCG and re-designated HC-131A but only served until February 1982 when it was again retired to MASDC. It was civilianised as N27232 in May 1982 but nothing of its subsequent history could be traced, and the registration was cancelled in November 2012.
