Reversing the trend of ex military Constellations being painted in civilian color schemes, this airplane will be restored to represent a military C-121 transport.

At the Air Mobility Command Museum restoration has started on this tired old girl.

Aircraft is painted to represent a C-121C military transport aircraft and is on display at the AMC Museum at Dover AFB. The aircraft was never with the USAF and its last civilian registration was N1005C, when it flew for Capitol International Airways. Retired in 1967, it was converted to a cocktail lounge in Penndel, PA. It was disassembled and donated to the AMC Museum in 1997. Its fake military serial number 40315 (54-0315) was assigned to a Northrop F-89H "Scorpion" fighter aircraft.

Air Mobility Command Museum. Since my last visit to the AMC Museum on 17 June 2007, the fuselage has been painted gray and cheat lines have been added. Transformation into a "quasi" C-121C should be complete in August.
