anyone found out the tail number for the latter 33?
Looks like the 212th FG or FS Mexican group skin.
The profile was based on photos provided by Leroy Grossheuesch in the book it was in. He clearly didn't have it and he flew it. I don't have anything that gives the serial. The close up photo shows it covered by the rising sun flags but 42-27??? is visible. Best suggestion is to fudge it a little bit in that serial range. 42-27868 or something similar. 227868 goin on the tail.
