Former USAF 53-3816, the last 367 built. In storage since the late 1980s, though she has only lost her tail in the last couple of years (it's laid down on the right stabilizer). After retirement from the USAF, this airplane was used for a short time for flying bread for the Bimbo Bakery up on the Mexican Baja Peninsula. She used to make regular maintenance visits to Tucson during this time period. This photo is copyright © Ralph M. Pettersen, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
