Built in 1956 and cancelled on 28 June 1976. During the 1950's and 1960's, the US government was applying a policy of containment towards Communist influence in certain regions of the world. As part of this, the US Army Corps of Engineers was building military infrastructure in friendly countries. OFW became one of their majors contractors and was awarded several contracts in the Middle East. They also operated C-46 N4086A which visited EGPK in August 1961.
