This B-25J is displayed outside the airport in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

I do not have a s/n for it, although it seems to be either FAB-541 or FAB-542.

FAB 541 was ex RCAF 5243, ex 44-86725. Today it is airworthy in the US as "Super Rabbit". I have a note about this aircraft being a gate guardian at La Paz in the 1980s. Do you know when these pictures were taken?

Back in the early 90's the Texas Air Command museum guys (Charles Osborne? ) negotiated with Bolivia to obtain this aircraft at the same time thy obtained the F-86's ... the negotiations ultimately lead nowhere....

Just a bit of useless trivia.... :roll:

Bob's link identifies the aircraft as FAB 542. Does anybody know any previous identities of this aircraft?
