The Milestones of Flight Museum was formed by Lee Embree in the early 1970s, then named the Antelope Valley Air Museum. In 1986 the name was changed to Milestones of Flight Museum. This C-97 has been part of the collection since at least 1988. The museum closed in 2015, and although the exhibits were sold for restoration or offered for scrap value, this C-97 was still present by Mar 2018, as were the Argosy and the C-119.
