Photo Comment

This row of old C-135s sit in the desert with the Santa Catalina mountains as a backdrop waiting on their final days. The foremost frame served with the 4950th Test Wing/FISTA (Flying Infrared Signatures and Technology Aircraft) based at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH before being retired to AMARG during Dec. 93 where it is stored with the PCN Inventory No. AACA0095.
