Nicaragua loaned six of their F-47s to the Liberation Army of Guatemala`s Air Force on June 18th 1954, for its planned 10 day campaign against the Guatemalan government. This F-47N arrived solo at La Aurora air base in Guatemala City and 2 weeks later, she received Guatemalan Air Force colors and serial number 0658.
The post-war surplus of Allied combat aircraft gave many small Latin American air forces an opportunity to strengthen their fighting ability at relatively low cost. Chile was one of the countries that chose to participate in the project and on 1st July 1946 the Chilean airforce received it's first six P-47Ds. Another six aircraft arrived in Chile on 13th November 1947.
