Whats the current status of that C-133 based in Alaska?

Would anyone know if there are any videos on the net of it? I've been curious how these things sound like! :D

Thanks!

It came into KPIT one night when I was working in the tower. It looked like a 747 on final with all of those lights.

according to that she was still flying last april.
Quite a workhorse! Too bad she can't be replaced by a C-17 so she can "retire" to the airshow circuit. :wink:
