About to land on Runway 12 at Prestwick for a fuel stop before heading on transatlantic. Carries the markings of the USAF's Minnesota Air National Guard. Arrived from Naval Air Station Rota, Spain, as RCH133

Preserved with the Confederate (as it then was) Air Force; when they transferred their headquarters from Harlingen to Midland, TX., the aircraft was reportedly returned to the USAF, but it is feared to have been broken up on site.

Delivered to the US Navy as SNB-2C Bu51338 in 1943. Later modified to an SNB-3P and to an SNB-5 around 1953. Redesignated as a TC-45J in 1962 and a UC-45J in 1964. To N5766 and used as an instructional airframe at Minneapolis Vocational High School & Technical Institute in 1969. To the museum and marked as 210884 by 1993. This aircraft has been reported as the real 52-10084 c/n AF-814 but that is incorrect as it became N9453Z and crashed on landing at Treasure Cay, Bahamas on 12 Mar 1971. It was destroyed by fire.
