This Texas ANG Stratofreighter was one of over 800 built and was accompanied on this occasion by five others on one of the last 'Creek Party' deployments. Entered the boneyard at DM in May 1977 after also serving the Pennsylvania ANG and was scrapped at Dross Metals after 1986. The commonality of the wing and engines to the preceding Superfortress design is evident here This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
