Martin Kyburz:
Looks like FAB-522 (Bolivian Air Force) although FAB-522 is reported as
Cavalier TF-51D, serial 67-14865, with dual-control cockpit and enlarged
'Temco'-style hood. The picture shows a regular hood, and the style of the
letter '2' does not match other TF-51's that went to Bolivia around 1967/1968
(FAB-520, FAB-521) - but this does not eliminate the aforementioned
possibility. Any other clues ?
Joe Scheil:
Hey is this the FAB 522? I dont think so because the canopy indicates a
single seat 51 and its supposed to be a TF but the side titles appear to be
FAB 522!!!
Dick Phillips:
WHO #132 appears to be ex FAB522 67-14865, which was to have gone to Canada
as C-GXUP, but remained in Bolivia. I believe it ended up at World Jet in
Ft. Lauderdale, where the above photo was taken.
Jack Borland:
Just a wild guess, but is it being restored back to a single seat
plane?? Looks like it to me.
