Mark Clark:
My guess is N16S
Martin Kyburz:
This is 44-74694 which served with the 167th FS WVA ANG, nicknamed
'The Phantom'; it became N7720C, then N16S, then N6851 (Cavalier conversion)
and finally became I-BILL in May 1969. The a/c crashed on July 3, 1977 near
Mainz-Finthen (Germany) killing the pilot and its passenger. I own a picture
of this ship, taken a few days before it crashed, showing an overall yellow
scheme, succeeding the striking white/red scheme.
Case #139 shows I-BILL, case #119 shows an earlier ID, either N16S or N6851.
Case Closed!
