The museum's aircraft, serial number 1721, was built in 1942 in San Diego, one of 1,250 ST-3 models, of which 1,019 received the designation PT-22. It was severely damaged in 1992 in an off-field landing, and underwent a major restoration process, under the direction of owner Michael D. Sullivan, as an Army Air Corps PT-22. It was generously donated to the museum by the Estate of Mr. Sullivan in 2005. It is currently exhibited at the entrance to the World War II Gallery. (Source: aerospacemuseum.org)
