This early Herc was built at Marietta, GA in April 1957 and went on to be stationed for the early of its service life in Japan. It returned to the US in 1971 and was involved in a wheels-up landing at Duluth, MN, in April 1973 but was repaired and returned to service. Around 1976 it was transferred to 180th Tactical Airlift Squadron at Saint Joseph, MO, hence the markings. In May 1984 it was transferred to Chanute Technical Training Center at Chanute AFB, Rantoul until SOC in June 1990. After closure of this museum it went to the Museum of Missouri Military History, Jefferson City, MO. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
