Departing Nellis after the 50th anniversary of the USAF celebration. Sits forlorn at Chino since 2012.

After 7 long years the Connie finally flew from Camarillo to its new home at Yanks Air Museum

Ex USAF 53-548. Owned by Wayne Jones' Global Aeronautical Foundation, acquired from the Pima Air Museum in 1995. Sold to the Yanks Air Museum in Jan 2006, and restored to flying condition and flown from Camarillo, CA to Chino, CA 14-Jan-2012 on delivery to the museum.

Flew again in 1995 as N548GF from Tucson to Camarillo, California. Joined the airshow circuit until corrosion grounded it in 2000. Ferried to Chino, California, in January 2012.

This Connie was delivered to the USAF in 1955 as RC-121D 53-548 and converted to EC-121 standard eight years later. Her last base was Homestead and was the last EC-121T to be SOC and flown to MASDC in 1978. After being rescued from the boneyard by the Pima A&SM she was declared surplus to their needs, sold and, after restoration, appeared at air shows until being grounded by corrosion at Camarillo in 2000. Bought in 2005 by Yanks Air Museum she was finally ferried to CNO on 14th Jan. 2012.
