The USAF retired it's two Presidential transport UH-13J's in 1967 and transferred them to museums the following year. The Smithsonian received this example, which was the first to carry President Eisenhower, and is now on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center. The other UH-131J was donated to the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, OH. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
