The first Mustang (N5422V) for Cuba was already being examined since April 1958 by revolutionary sympathizes, and the owner was Leeward Aeronautical Sales, of Miami, that bought it for $1,067.00 in 1957 as war surplus. It was bought for Cuba November 18, 1958, and the pilot Allen McDonald completed the form ACA-1362 stating the purpose of the flight was for a "local test and test flight", then supposedly he flew the Mustang from the US to Cuba. The second Mustang (N68DR) originally was surplused by the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1956 and delivered to Stinson Field Aircraft, of San Antonio, Texas. The registration N68DR, passed through various owners in Tennessee and Kansas, and finishing in Miami as the N3990A, where it was bought for Allen McDonald, that also supposedly flew to Cuba secretly on November 20. A third Mustang (N89E), ex-RCAF 9341 was also acquired. The three Cuban registrations were FAR-201, 301 and 401 respectively.This it is the known version in the US.

In reality only two Mustangs appeared in Cuba (N5422V and N68DR). They arrived in Cuba together on 23 Nov 1958 in the afternoon, flying directly from the US to the rebel aerodrome of Mayari Arriba, piloted by Michel Yabor and Adolfo Diaz Vazquez and not by Allen. The registration was FAR-400 and 401.
