Built for USAAF as C-47B 44-76256. To Central Air Transport Corp as XT-722 in 1945. Later registered in the U.S. as N8329C, N4663V, and finally N99H. On 19 February 1971 during a takeoff from C.R.C. Crose airport near Houston, Texas a dragging brake resulted in a ground loop, causing substantial damage to the airframe. The a/c was written off, with the registration cancelled in September 1974.

Although not marked as such, this G-159 was owned and operated by Texaco, Inc.

A grainy B&W photo of N4814C, but I notice we don't have a photo of it in original Delta Airlines livery yet. Converted from CV-340 to CV-440 in the 1956-57 timeframe. Lots of action on the ramp; First Officer doing preflight walkaround, baggage being unloaded, and fuel truck in front of right wing.
