After service with the RCAF, the National Research Council took this aircraft in 1965 as CF-SVP-X and fitted it with extensive magnetic anomaly equipment for experimental work, flying her for ten years. Sold in 11.78, by this time the world's last flying example of the type. Owned by Aircraft Salvage of Dallas, and allegedly used for smuggling in the Caribbean until 1980. Then scrapped in the early part of the decade at Greater Inagua Island, Bahamas.

A nice selection of props (or ex-props) in the Western International yard bordering AMARG. The one jet, a T-43A, looks incongruous sitting in the centre of this group of classics which includes eight HU-16s, five C-118s, five C-7s, four P-2s, three P-3s, three and a half C-130s, a C-27 and a C-131.

A nice selection of props (or ex-props) in the Western International yard bordering AMARG. The one jet, a T-43A, looks incongruous sitting in the centre of this group of classics which includes eight HU-16s, five C-118s, five C-7s, four P-2s, three P-3s, three and a half C-130s, a C-27 and a C-131.

The first Galaxy to be retired to AMARC arrived in 11.03 and was followed by another dozen over the next couple of years. It was hard work doing justice to such an amazing scene below, using both slide and digital SLRs, but having my son in the back to hold open the Cessna's side window was a help!

The YC-15 was the McDonnell Douglas entry against the Boeing YC-14 in the Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition. This, the first of two, made her maiden flight on 28.8.75 and was later used as a CFM-56 engine test-bed. Registered as N15YC 4.97; moved from Palmdale to Edwards AFB in 4.08 and now displayed near the west gate (Rosamond) in the Century Circle. Although neither design was adopted, McDonnell Douglas later of course went on to develop the successful C-17 Globemaster III
