Preserved inside the Hill AFB Museum is C-140B 62-4201 which was once used to fly around President Lyndon B Johnson and his wife. (Detailed info on this bird can be found when clicking the serial in the previous sentence)

On a separate note, undoubtedly the coolest bizjet ever: the Jetstar.

The Jetstar was always a bit rare, wasn't it?

This one is landing at Manchester, NH (KMHT) rwy #17 on 15 April 2000
Image


And this one is landing on rwy #01 at Rutland, VT (KRUT) on 4 October 1998
Image

Terrible light on this one, but what can you do? (Waiting for the crowd to arrive will only create more problems!)
C-140A 59-5959 AFCC at Griffis AFB, NY 9 Aug 1980

AMEN! Enough seen, but unfortunately no pictures of my own, so I will have to stay on the sideline watching....

Only 200 or so were built, so never big enough numbers to become mainstream. Which indeed is a pity.

Four engines, integral under-wing tanks, all-flying tail (in stead of elevator trim, look at the seam) and a huge speed break. Halleluja. :mrgreen:

Found some more (actually only 1) in my slide boxes, tough they are more scattered through these boxes then I thought

Tom, great to see them flying.
EC, the Tatarstan is a hammer.

Here is a mil trio. The two VC-140s were stationed at Ramstein with 58 MAS.

Just a preserved one, VC-140B 61-2492, (c/n 5031) preserved in the USAF Museum in Dayton..

I remember seeing my first "live" one at the airshowin Ramstein in 1986, and for sure the shiny bare metal impressed me!
