On display in conjunction with a change of command ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum. The rotor blades were removed in order to move the aircraft into place. This is an active USN aircraft and not part of the museum collection. Although marked as a USMC aircraft, it is actually assigned to the USN. As USN, USMC, and USCG flight students go through training together some aircraft are marked as Marine or Coast Guard to honor those branches of Naval Aviation.

Acquired by the museum in 1988, this is C-46A 43-47350 marked as R5C-1 BuNo 39611. As this C-46 never was assigned to the USMC and the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, Delaware did not have a C-46 in their collection, the aircraft was transferred to Dover in May of 2023. It is currently undergoing restoration there.
