Lockheed C-141 Starlifter (63-8088)
Lockheed C-141 Starlifter (63-8088)
Fifty-nine years ago this month, in April of 1965, 63-8088 was delivered to the 44th Air Transport Squadron, 1501st Air Transport Wing, at Travis AFB (KSUU).
Today, now named the "Golden Bear," 63-8088 stands as a static display adjacent to the flightline it arrived at almost six decades ago.

This aircraft, the first of 284 Starlifters delivered to the USAF, flew 21,980 sorties before being wfu and stored.

when I find my VHS of the 1986 Travis AFB Airshow I hope this is on the film...nice!
T ..... Wish you could have joined our small group recently when we went to say s'long to the KC-10s. No one from the Reno area was interested in a last photo trip for the 10s (that's nothing new ... we had 25 military a/c here over the past 3 days, including SECNAV on a SAM C-40, a Naval Fleet Cmdr, and a Navy Osprey, and only me ... and I think one other guy ... turned out to snap 'em), but I wish you could have accepted the invite. Hopefully, someday, eh? (Thumbs Up)
