UF-1 Bu.No. 137922, was converted to a UF-2. Per the below link, one will find this aircrft in Midway Is, Central America, Colombia. In 1960-62, this aircraft was on SAR duty, NAS Port Lyautey, Kentria Morocco. I was aircrew on it. Per A. Anido Collection, this aircraft was delivered to the Philippine Air Force in Feb. 1975, it was broken up at Atienza Air Base prior to 1995. So how can your aircraft be carrying Bu. No. 137922?
