On the apron at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. C-123s were the first tactical transports deployed in Jan 1962 to Vietnam. Flying defoliation missions under Ranch Hand, resupply under Mule Train and covert ops with SOS units and Air America, the C-123 was used for over a decade. Converted from the 'B' model, the 'K' featured 12.68 kN J85-GE-17 auxiliary jet pods. This aircraft wore camo when it went to Honduras in 1986 where it was registered as HR-ALK with Trans Costa Rica and wore the name "No Problemas." It was impounded at Ft Lauderdale in 1989 and eventually went to the museum. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
