The very first Starlifter to be built, making her maiden flight on 17.12.63, the 60th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight. Spent entire career as a test aircraft with AFSC at Wright-Patterson in numerous programs, the last being to test a new tension rope for NASA towing a QF-106 in the air. One of four early C-141A's not converted to C-141B standard, all 270 in the main fleet undergoing the stretch. Joined C-141B 64-0626, parked alongside in 'lizard' camouflage

My first US trip included a highly rewarding excursion to the USAF Museum at Wright Field. This great old West Virginia ANG bird was shot from the pool of my nearby lodgings. In 1971 she visited Greenham Common, UK, from her Charleston base as a C-119G with 4-blade props but was modified to 'L' standard with 3 blades soon after. At one point she was also a test bed for Stealth technology, painted black with special $300/gallon paint. The frame still survives, exhibited at Fort Bragg, NC

This Utah ANG 'Strat' entered MASDC in 1.78 and remained intact until 1994 but was broken up by Dross Metals after that. The nose section was saved by a museum at Long Beach, CA; in 2007 it was at the El Mirage yard of Aviation Warehouse

Hayes Aircraft Corp. converted 136 surplus B-50Ds to KB-50 tankers, deliveries of the improved jet-assisted KB-50J version beginning in 1958. Replaced by KC-135s in the mid-60s, a few were still available in 1965 for use in SE Asia for emergency refuelling of fighters over hostile territory. Framed by WB-50D 0-90310, this one was soon after painted with fake serial 0-80114 and was moved to the Air Park at McDill AFB, FL in 1996

Looks good but a false identity - never served with the USAF, being in fact originally RCAF C-119F 22118, assigned in 1953 to 436 Sqdn at Dorval. In 1956 during the Suez crisis used on UN shuttles between Italy and Egypt. Had enlarged radar nose fitted in 1957 and based to Downsview. Struck off RCAF charge 1965 but from 1969 operated as firebomber by Hawkins & Powers as N3559. Upgraded to Steward-Davis Jet-Pak spec in 1972 with J34 engine above fuselage and flown to Dover for preservation 10.91

To AMARC 9.71 and later airlifted by CH-54 Skycrane to Sioux Falls, SD. The trip took six weeks as the helicopter could only fly in short hops. Now displayed in South Dakota ANG colours as '6114'

In my distant recollection, the sound of this awesome turboprop lifter was as distinctive and inspiring as that of the mighty Antonov 22. This Cargomaster, one of 50 built primarily to carry intercontinental ballistic missiles, arrived at the USAFM in March 1971 when the fleet had to be retired due to fatigue and was repainted in the white-top MATS scheme in 1986
