I can remember seeing this machine as N525EJ regularly cruising up Red One in the late Sixties in its distinctive red Executive Jet Aviation c/s. Here on a diversion to Heathrow looking immaculate while taxiing out along the southside, she was flown by BCal for 15 years from 6.70 and converted to EC-137D for the USAF using its c/n as serial (with year of construction 67 as FY prefix), entering service in 1992. Into storage at DM in 6.02 and still there

Less than three years old when seen here lifting off from 28R, "Le Pelican" served with Air France, latterly as a freighter, until June 1981 when Pan Aviation bought it and leased on to Liberia World. Still active as USAF E-8C 97-0100, having been acquired from NMB Co in 1996 and converted to J-STARS spec as airframe P-11
