51-7209, painted with false serial as "51-0047". 51-7209 was delivered to the USAF in 1953 and transferred to the USCG as 7209 in 1961. In 1978, it was flown to Luke on return to the USAF for gate-guard use, marked with a false serial. In 1988, it was taken from Luke in a C-5 Galaxy to McLellan where it was put back into USCG marks as 7209 and joined the Aerospace Museum of California.
