This aircraft was one of two former U.S. Navy C-131F rescued from a scrapyard near Davis Monthan AFB during the summer of 2016 and ferried to Miami. It is named after Uriel Bristol, who was killed in the crash of CV340 N153JR in March 2012. The aircraft awaits its next flight to Puerto Rico carrying hurricane relief supplies.
