This Texas ANG Stratofreighter was one of over 800 built and was accompanied on this occasion by five others on one of the last 'Creek Party' deployments. Entered the boneyard at DM in May 1977 after also serving the Pennsylvania ANG and was scrapped at Dross Metals after 1986. The commonality of the wing and engines to the preceding Superfortress design is evident here

Seen at her home base during an Open House held unusually late in the year, this shiny-looking VT-29B of the 513th Air Base Sqdn made her last flight to Duxford on 29.6.75 on donation to the IWM, but unfortunately was neglected and scrapped in the Nineties

Arriving on a MAC flight, this Super 8 later flew for Capitol, Arrow and National, becoming N952R in 5.85 and then N826AX in 7.95 with Airborne Express after service with Emery. After 11.07 operated as 9G-SIM for Johnsons Air out of the UAE. Grounded by the Ghana CAA at the end of 2013 so the airline was looking at another country to register

Huskies were a familiar sight at US bases during the Vietnam era, standing by for fire and rescue duties. These days of course I'd wait for the passers-by behind, but adds a touch of period fashion here! Although this "Pedro" is no longer extant, 62-4535 which also served 40 ARRS is the care of the Midland Air Museum
