A couple, LV-XGJ (C/N 5008) and LV-ZIL (C/N 5423), of Cessna T-50 Bobcat were used by the Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (PBA). LV-XGJ is reported as a UC-78 model, while LV-ZIL is reported as a UC-78B model. They were used mostly for liaison, patrol, highway search, transport and MEDEVAC functions. In 1984 the rests one of them, with complete engines and propellers, could still be seen in the hangar of a sprayduster in Necochea, but otherwise their destiny is a mystery.
