Ex USAF 53-0280, still with Missouri National Guard titles.

Ex USAF 53-0280 (no mil markings on the aircraft bar the Missouri Air Guard.

Came to France for a planned Guppy conversion by UTA. Did not occur and it was loaned to the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace. Acquired by a museum at Nancy-Essey and flown out of Paris. After the museum closed, N49548 was scrapped in 2005. Its tail however found its way to a park in Czechia.

Served within USAF until 1978. Became N49548 and was delivered in October 1984 to Paris-le Bourget for conversion by UTA to Guppy 201 but conversion was not undertaken and the aircraft was loaned to Musee de l'Air. Finally given to a local air museum in Nancy, France. Unfortunately scrapped when the museum went bankrupt in 2004. Only tail is preserved at Zruc airpark in Czech Republic.

Is this the next step up from a tree-house? The rear fuselage of this old tanker, previously 53-0280 with the USAF, is part of the wonderfully eclectic collection at the Zruč Air Park.
