Built for the USAF as 53-3546 in 1955. Stored at Davis Monthan AFB, AZ in 1975. Moved to Allied Aircraft yard in 1983. To Hamilton Aviation at Tucson and modified to represent a trijet in 1988 for the 1989 film "Speed Zone" (a.k.a. "Cannonball Run III" and "Cannonball Fever"). The third jet was on the tail which has been removed. Las Vegas Express was a fake airline. It was probably scrapped soon after this photo was taken.
