Note: Whilst at Edwards AFB., it seems perhaps that parts of s/n 593 / 53-2801 were used on this aircraft which initially confused the record keeping together with the incorrect USCAR record. However with the assistance of Viking who hold the build records, Kenmore were able to establish the correct provenance.
