Jay bird: FAH 619 never existed there were 19 Corsairs FAH 600-618. That plane was another plane its number was retouched it to look as a 9.
The two FG1D's. Crashed near San Jose de la Fuente. in La Uni?n Deparment in el Salvador. One of them blew up completly in the air,it is suspected that the pilot (capt Cortez) failed to de-presurise the planes fuel tanks. The other one crashed after it's pilot parachuted to safety. I don't know if there are remains left.

Just one more fact: We recently recovered one of the wings of FAH 617 Bu # 97059.which had an accident in 1977. and the wing originally was built for a FG1D.
