Photo Comment

Built as USAAF C-53 41-20095. Owned and operated by the State of Ohio Department of Commerce from 1964 through 1977, then donated to the USAF Museum, where it remained until 1992. Seen here still with the State of Ohio flag on the tail. The aircraft later went to Vintage Wings of Washington, PA. for a complete restoration back to a C-53 configuration.
