In open storage at the Greybull base of Hawkins & Powers Aviation, still carrying the basic colours of the RCAF where it was in active service from 1953 until 1965. Tanked by H & P and certificated as N3559 "137" in 1975 with roof mounted jet pack added. Following the structural failure and mid-air breakup of one of their C-119Gs during a fire attack in California in 1987, H&P grounded their entire fleet of the type. Traded to the USAF Museum in 1991 and put on display, in period USAF configuration and colours, at the AMC Museum at Dover AFB, Delaware.

This Flying Boxcar was delivered new to the RCAF as a C-119F with the serial 22118. It was coverted to a C-119G and flew for a short time for the UN. After retirement by the RCAF in 1965 it was converted to an air tanker and given the US registration N3559. The museum has restored the plane to resemble a USAF plane flying with the 512th Airlift Wing, which used Boxcars from 1957-1965. The painted serial is the one that would (most probably) have been assigned had the plane been ordered by the USAF, instead it was allocated to serial was originally assigned to a F-86F.

Looks good but a false identity - never served with the USAF, being in fact originally RCAF C-119F 22118, assigned in 1953 to 436 Sqdn at Dorval. In 1956 during the Suez crisis used on UN shuttles between Italy and Egypt. Had enlarged radar nose fitted in 1957 and based to Downsview. Struck off RCAF charge 1965 but from 1969 operated as firebomber by Hawkins & Powers as N3559. Upgraded to Steward-Davis Jet-Pak spec in 1972 with J34 engine above fuselage and flown to Dover for preservation 10.91
