I am not sure about the identity of this aircraft. It seems to have a MASDC storage code "4CC258" on the nose gear door, but I can not find any history of that. Storage code "CC258" however belongs to a VC-54E with serial 44-9067 with cn 27293, which arrived at Davis Monthan on October 23, 1974 with no known history after that. Any more information about this aircraft would be appreciated.
