Photo Comment

Built as a compact C-141A, served the 443rd MAW, and was converted to a stretched C-141B by early 1980. The fuselage of the C-141B was extended in front and aft the wings by adding plug sections giving the aircraft 23 feet 4 inches (7,11 m) additional length. 64-0650 continued to operate a stretched Lifter with the 305th and 60th MAW. The Lifter was eventually stored from September 1995 at AMARC and received inventory code CR0012. The storage era for the aircraft ended by April 1997. It was broken up by June 2003.
