Just over a month before this shot was taken from a Cessna 172, the famous Starlifter 'Hanoi Taxi' arrived at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton to mark the end of an era as the last eight of the type were finally withdrawn. Here surrounded by KC-135s and F-111s, they were being broken up at quite a rate

Arrived at the AMC Museum in 1996 and later joined by the first-built C-141A 61-2275 which is parked alongside. All remaining Starlifters in service were retired by 2006

The classic 'Lifter was finally withdrawn from service by the USAF in 2006. This example, then with the 438th MAW in the original white-top colours, entered storage at AMARC on 15.1.04 but has now been scrapped along with many others

The museum's C-141B Starlifter was delivered to the US Air Force in 1966 and has been assigned to Travis AFB, CA., McChord AFB, WA., Norton AFB, CA., and March AFB, CA. It was last assigned to the 452nd Air Mobility Wing, March AFB, CA. It arrived at the museum in November 1999.

'The Golden Bear' was the first operational Starlifter, delivered to Travis on 23 April 1965. After a long and distinguished career she was put on display on the base near the museum.

At this time serving the 438th MAW, this Starlifter repatriated the pilot of the second Black Hawk 'down' in the battle of Mogadishu in 10.93. To AMARC 13.4.01 and since broken up like most of her sister-ships
