Mario Overall: Definetively a Bolivian Air Force Stang.

After showing the photo at the LAAHS Message Board (http://www.laahs.com/wwwboard/wwwboard.html) our fellow member Juan Aparicio came up with some clues. This particular Stang, ex Uruguayan AF, and ex Bolivian AF is now at the Venezuelan Air Force Museum. According to Dan Hagedorn's book on the LatAm Mustangs, its US Previous ID is not known. The plane sports now Venezuelan markings.


Martin Kyburz: this is a very probable solution:
45-11458; to RAAF as A68-801 in September 1945; served with No. 77 Sqdn in Korea (delivery on November 19, 1950); sold to US Aeronautics Corp. on February 23, 1953; adopted civil ID N4686V; sold to Bolivia as FAB-504 (date ?). see attached picture....

Possibly the a/c in Museum Maracay, Venezuela.
