This aircraft, named Bataan, was the personal aircraft of General Douglas McArthur during the early 1950's. After retirement from the USAF in 1966, it flew with NASA as NASA422 and later N422NA until 1969 when it was flown to the US Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama. It was purchased by the Planes of Fame Museum in 1994 and completely restored. Acquired by Lewis Air Legends and flown to Chino, CA in January 2016. Lewis plans on putting the aircraft on the airshow circuit after completion of a comprehensive restoration at Chino.

This very early model Constellation was flown by TWA, Las Vegas Hacienda, World Wide Airlines, Consolidated Airlines, Standard Airlines and a host of others before being retired to the desert. It is the only remaining original C-69 transport.

Originally 43-48851 this C-47 was delivered to the Air Force September 26, 1944 and on to the RAF as KJ939. Returned to the Mutual Aid Advisory Group in 1955, the aircraft was integrated back into the USAF. Stored in 1961, it was to become OB-LIT-633, which was not taken up and it became derelict at Tuscon, AZ.

Birds-eye view taken by a very nervous photographer! A group of enthusiasts met at Avra Valley to celebrate this grand old lady's 49th birthday. On September 28, 1953 she was delivered to the US Navy. Note all the Constellation spare parts that have accumulated over the years.
