Formerly RCAF 22131. Tanked by Hawkins and Powers Aviation at Greybull and certificated as N5216R with roof mounted jet pack in 1975. Following the structural failure and mid-air breakup of one of their C-119Gs during a fire attack in California in 1987, H&P grounded their entire fleet of this type. Traded to USAF Museum in 1998, then delivered to Battle Mountain Air Museum, NV. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
