Photo Comment

After a post-military career as a fire-bomber with Hemet Valley Flying Service, registered N13746, this machine was preserved at Edwards AFB, CA from 1991. It was dismantled and airlifted to Dover AFB aboard a C-5M Galaxy on 19 December 2016, on delivery to the Air Mobility Command Museum. It is the second-oldest C-119 in existence and the only surviving aircraft from the operation that air-dropped mobile bridge sections to US Marines during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. in the Korean War.
