The logos on nose and tail and the strange "H0180-H" marks on the wing underside all date back to early 2004, when this C-119 starred in the movie "Flight of the Phoenix". It was operated by Hawkins and Powers at the time, and an airstrip to facilitate the filming was constructed at Rössing Mountain, near Swakopmund in Namibia. Hans Lauridsen acquired the aircraft two years later. After storage at Greybull (WY), Glendale (AZ) and Wickenburg (AZ), this Boxcar arrived at Buckeye on 25 June 2009. It hasn't flown since.

The C-119 was yet another type for which Warner Robins ALC took logistics responsibility. This one was delivered in October 1951 and operated with various units worldwide including the Air Force Reserve. It was withdrawn from service in 1966 and transferred to the museum some 20 years later

From delivery to the USAF in 1954 as a C-119G, this Boxcar performed troop carrier assignments in both active and reserve units in Japan, Oregon, Texas and Rhode Island. After conversion to C-119L it entered MASDC storage in 1975 and was registered N37484 by Dross Metals in 1980 before being sold on for agricultural spraying operations but then around 1985 began runs with contraband TV sets from Texas to Mexico - on the sixth such flight, it was damaged after hitting a cactus on landing. After storage at Laredo, donated to the Air Commando Park in 1987 and painted as an AC-119G 'Shadow'
