Photo Comment

One of four former Ansett Airlines of Australia leased by the US Navy in 1982. This one, operated by VR-61, was returned in 1990 and placed with Airborne Express as N49AX. Flown for DHL, the freighter was withdrawn in December 2009 and stored at Roswell, NM, where it was finally scrapped.
