Here registered to De Long Corporation, it is a prototype built with the early small tail and known as the Boeing 367-5-5. It was suspected of being used to ship arms to Katangan rebels in the early 1960s and subsequently impounded by the UN. Ultimately it went to Israel Aircraft Industries (which led to a military order for the Stratofreighter) and was later scrapped.
