Now displayed as a weather reconnaissance aircraft, when I first photographed this EC-121 at Pensacola in 1979 it was still carrying the marks of VT-86 with which it operated in the AEW crew training role at NAS Glynco, GA from 1957, moving to NAS Pensacola in 1973 and joining the museum collection later that year

Delivered in 1957. Preserved at Pensacola from 1973.

Flown to the museum in 1973 from NAS Glynco, GA. There it was assigned to VT-86 and used to train flight crew for assignment to early warning aircraft squadrons. The a/c is currently on display in the outside flight line area. It is now in the markings of a Weather Reconnaissance Squadron 4 a/c.

Wears "Weather Reconnaissance Squadron Four" titles on fuselage. Lined up next to the museum's Douglas R6D (C-118B).

Delivered to the US Navy in October 1957 as a WV-2, later EC-121K. Mainly used as a radar training aircraft based at NAS Glynco. Retired in 1973.

The EC-121K suffered quite a bit of damage as the result of Hurricane Ivan. Its rudders, flaps, ailerons were damaged and its upper radome blown completely off. A replacement radome was salvaged from Tucson resident EC-121H 53-535 and, with the exception of the ailerons, repairs have been completed.

Crew rest area for long overwater missions.
