This C-118 spent a couple of periods with the US Navy, displaying a tail number reflecting its 1953 USAF serial. In the 1976-1981 period the full USAF serial, minus hyphen, was worn on the fin. By the time of this image, '228 was back on USAF charge and AMARC park code CG089 was assigned. It is not visible in this image but was most likely carried. The aircraft was later civilianised and entered service with Everts Air Fuel as N351CE. It last flew in 2015 and is believed to be parked in good condition at Fairbanks International Airport, Alaska.
