Ex-USAF 51-17542: Transferred to the Royal Dutch Air Force (Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu)) on April 1, 1954 as "TR-23". Written off (damaged beyond repair) February 11, 1955 when crashed while attempting an emergency landing at De Peel Air Base, Netherlands (at approximate co ordinates: 51°31′34″N 005°51′34″E).
