157816/N917SF was repainted as an Army M model and sold to a collector in south Africa. I haven't been able to find the pictures, but I believe 157827was registered as N911SF after being de-mil'ed. Both airframes, and four others I do not have the serial numbers for, where de-mil'ed at Pilot Personnel Inc, Lebanon OR, between 1983 and 1988.
