Four years to the month after I took this slide 141292 made the last operational flight of a USN Constellation. The flight was from NAS Key West to the Florence Air Museum in South Carolina. As the museum was next to the airport it was arranged for the a/c to taxi from the closest taxiway across a grass area to the prearranged display spot. The Connie made it part of the way but eventually bogged down. There it sat until the museum closed in October 1997.

Although this F-9J was stricken from active service on 22 July 1970, it was still in use. It and several other retired a/c were used regularly for aircraft carrier flight deck towing and parking practice, crane hoist practice (hoisting from pier to flight deck), and other training for new flight deck personnel. In 1977 there were several active carriers homeported at NAS Alameda.

This TA-3B was operated by the Department of the Navy and had been outfitted to carry passengers. It was based at NAF Andrews, just outside of Washington, D.C. Due to its proximity to San Francisco, NAS Alameda was a popular layover spot for military aircraft from all the services, including those from other countries.
