This Globemaster survived until July 1974 when it went to MASDC. The inscription on the side reads: D.D.JOHNSTON, NORWALK - LA BEACH CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT. This would be in reference to a mid-air collision in February 1958 between a C-118 and a P2V which took place overhead the D.D.Johnston high-school and claimed the lives of 48 people including one on the ground.
