TA-4J, BuNo 155070, sits in the Arizona sun during April, 2014.
C-141B, serial 65-0266, seen approximately five months after her June 2000 arrival date for storage. She would be scrapped less than three years after this photo was taken.
This A-model KC-135 flew in from Fairchild AFB, WA, during August 1993, and remained there until scrapped during October 2018. She is pictured during November 2014.
April 2009 view of TC-18E, serial 81-0898. This aircraft was a crew trainer for AWACS aircraft.
North American T-39D, BuNo 150546, as seen during April 2016. The aircraft would survive another six-and-a-half years before being scrapped.
April 2003 photo of Convair C-131F, BuNo 141016. Ex-president Truman flew on this aircraft during October 1962.
Iowa ANG KC-135E, serial 57-1434, "Pride of Siouxland" in storage at AMARG during November 2014.
TA-4B, BuNo 142708, remained in storage for just over 51 years before being scrapped in late 2020.
C-27J, serial 09-27022 as seen during April, 2016, likely undergoing preparations for transfer to the USCG as 2713.
November, 2014, nose shot of KC-135E, serial 58-0003. She had been in storage nearly seven-and-a-half years by this time. To the best of my ability to tell, she's still waiting her turn for whatever comes next.
T-2C, BuNo 157063, as she appeared during 2000 after spending eight years in storage. She would likely undergo inspection during this period at which point she was returned to storage, where she remains as of the date of this post.
