Originally built as an L-19A-CE at Cessna's Pawnee plant to a 1951 order as 51-11976, this aircraft saw service with the USAF in Vietnam. It was one of a batch of Bird Dogs imported to Australia and restored to it's accurate Vietnam war colour scheme by Randal MacFarlane at Archerfield; it was first registered as VH-XVB 'Little Puff' on 7 May 1992.
