Mr. Zorro, it is not clear to me, what you are asking. Is the airplane in your picture no longer in Honduras?
I, too am interested in finding a NA-16 or BT-9, if anyone has one they would like to find a good home for.

There were 2 samples at the FAH boneyard c.Sept 1980. One is still on display at the HAF Museum poss C/n 42-691. The second sample pictured above in the yellow scheme was also at the boneyard in deteriorating condition & he hope it found a good home someplace in the US, Canada or Europe. Its final destination is Ukn for now.
