P-63E Folks:

Help!

We are looking for poss close-up fuselage/wing pictures of this bird.

We suspect is an X Honduran AF (FAH 402) aircraft, AAF 43-117XX. If someone has access or plan to visit this facility plz let us know.

We are particularly looking for a poss Bell ID plate still attached to the R/S of aft fuselage and some Bell factory "numbers" inside the wings.
