US Navy Douglas R5D-3 Skymaster, BuNo 56547 (c/n 22199). This aircraft would eventually enter commercial service, initially as N96450, before being registered as N74AF. As per cgibin.rcn.com/jeremy.k/cgi-bin/gzNavySearch.pl?target=Do...: Leased and then bought by West Indies Air Transport. While taxiing at Aguadilla-Borinquen Airport in Puerto Rico Feb 3, 1992, suffered a hydraulics failure and struck the right wing of parked Super Constellation HI-542CT and ran into a ditch. A fire broke out and N74AF was [Damaged Beyond economical Repair ("DBR")].
