This C-54G wearing serial 5555 is undergoing an overhaul at RAF Burtonwood (Lancs) where the USAF had a major facility. The Skymaster still wears its code '406' which it used during its participation in the Berlin Airlift. Very rare, scanned from a 3" x 2" print

CAT was one of the civilian airlines active on behalf of the US government in Indo-China during the Vietnam War. It wore no markings other than its registration and Taiwanese flag. B-1016 was acquired directly from the USAF in 1967 and was sold in 1975 as N65132.

It doesn't show, but this immaculate Skymaster was delivered to the USAAF in June 1945 (as 45-507), which means that when this photo was taken, this beauty had just celebrated its 61st birthday. Roger Brooks purchased this former Arizona-based airtanker (ex Tanker 161) in February 2006. He used it to fly all kinds of freight out of its new homebase at Fairbanks, Alaska. Unfortunately it crashlanded near Nenana, AK on 17 January 2007. The wreck was stored at Nenana Airport and was still there by 2018.
