This C-9B was once registered as N507MD. It flew from NAS Atlanta (GA) with Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR) 46 "Eagles". The C-9B was phased out from US Navy service and arrived ar AMARC on 1 May 2002. Nice to know... In February 1985, the last piston driven C-118 Liftmaster in military service was retired by VR-46 as the squadron transitioned to the C-9B. VR-46 was sadly disestablished on 30 September 2012.
