We finally got the C-1A Bu #136752, N71456 out of Troy Alabama and made it as far as Tyler Texas. Planned stop in Midland then to it's new home in Glendale, Az. This bird is stock, only had radios installed, still wearing it's navy paint from 1977.

Well, we made it home with very few problems, lost a generator. Not bad for bird that has not flown in 11yrs.
Anyone know where we can find the cargo scaffolding pieces that are stored in the wheel wells ?
