One of the last C-118s in US military service, this VIP machine is seen here at Stockholm in 1981. After some years in preservation (with civil registration N427D) and then external storage at MCAS Cherry Point, 128427 was broken up, though its fuselage is believed to exist largely intact at Marion-Zuehl airfield near San Antonio, Texas. Photographer not known.
