Worldwide there are only two SBD-5's still airworthy. One of them (ex 42-54532) is seen here at the 2007 airshow at Midland airport. This aircraft was initially delivered to the Mexican AF and eventually found its way back to the US.
This plane was built for the USAAF as ‘41-33583’ but was transferred to the RAF as ‘EX610’. However, this plane was directly delivered to the South African Air Force where it served as’ 7303. It served in South Africa between 1943 and 1995.
