This Convair arrived at MASDC, as it then was, on 14 February 1975, having last served with the 323rd Flying Training Wing, Mather AFB, CA. As can be seen here, many other T-29s and C-131s were also retired in the 1970s and most did not see further service. 53-3477 was later broken up but a sizeable portion of its forward fuselage is preserved at the Aviation Cadet Museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
