Slide taken when Chanute AFB was still active. This a/c was last used by the PMTC. It was retired to MASDC, then flown to Chanute in 1983. After the base closed it became part of the Octave Chanute Air Museum collection. When the museum closed in 2015 it was transferred to the Yankee Air Museum in Michigan, where it is undergoing restoration.

This slide was taken when Chanute AFB was still active and was one of several a/c on display around the base. When the base closed it doesn't appear that this a/c became part of the Chanute Air Museum collection. It is currently on display at Kirkland AFB in New Mexico.

This slide was taken when Chanute AFB was still active. The a/c was being used as a ground instructional airframe. After the base closed this C-123 was on display there as part of the Octave Chanute Air Museum at least until 2002. Later the aircraft was donated to the SpringHill Summer Camp in Michigan where it currently resides as a sleep out for campers.

Slide was taken when Chanute AFB was still active. The a/c was being used as a ground instructional airframe, and became part of the Chanute Air Museum collection after the base closed. The museum made some changes to the original markings. The museum closed in 2015 and the JRB-66 was one of several airframes that did not find a new home and was scrapped.
