Parked here on "Celebrity Row" at AMARC but later sold as N1597F. This aircraft was written-off on 26 November 1993. It crashed while attempting to land in poor weather at Patriot Hills Antarctica. Thankfully the eight people on board did not suffer any significant injuries. The aircraft's name "Nancy" was in honour of the wife of Rear Admiral Clinton Taylor, the Commander of US Navy South Atlantic Forces in the early 1980s.

One of the last C-118s in US military service, this VIP machine is seen here at Stockholm in 1981. After some years in preservation (with civil registration N427D) and then external storage at MCAS Cherry Point, 128427 was broken up, though its fuselage is believed to exist largely intact at Marion-Zuehl airfield near San Antonio, Texas. Photographer not known.
