Ex USN

Was a C54Q of the US Navy with serial 56528.

When International Air Response (formerly T&G) moved their base of operation from Chandler Memorial to Coolidge Municipal Airport, they scrapped many of the redundant propliners that had been stored on the field. The nose section of this DC-4 was saved, probably for a collector.

One of five DC-4's stored by Biegert at Chandler. This aircraft was parked away from the other four and appears to have been a spares airframe.
