Agro Air, Dominican-registered. Not sure of your timescale, but they were quite active until one C-97 ploughed in at MEX killing scores on the ground. The remaining 2 sat at MIA until the Big Cleanup there.
There was also Aero Pacifico (Mexico) with a single C-97 which ended its days in pieces at TUS, like so many other things, and a fish-hauler up in Alaska, but I don't know what happened to that. The last active C-97 was (is ?) a water bomber at Fairbanks.
