52-2630 Boeing Stratofreighter 16661 United States Air Force

to the museum. It was painted in TexANG markings from 181st ARS / 136th ARW Navy Dallas.

The museum guys took our paint off and remarked it. :evil:



God, that must hurt, seeing your own aircraft completely repainted.

I'll throw in this one yet again:
Keystone LB-7 29-13
Keystone LB-7 29-16
Parts of both were supposed to have been recovered for the museum in the early '70s from Nicaragua (where they had been abandoned after forced landings in 1931), according to the Veteran and Vintage Aircraft book. Decades later there's still no info.
