RF-4C, serial 65-0931, during October 1993, one month after her arrival for storage at MASDC complete with new PCN FP946. She would remain in storage through early 2017, at which point the scrapper would take its toll.

November 1976 photo of serial number 44-9117, a Douglas VC-54E. When this photo was taken, she'd been in her second period of storage for 18 months. The aircraft would eventually find its way into civil service with Canadian registration C-GQIC, and be involved in a landing crash on Aug 28, 2002, while being operated by Buffalo Airways.

EB-47E, serial 53-1929, in storage next to sister aircraft, serial 52-0420, both from the 376th BW at Lockbourne AFB, OH, in this October 1968 (the month they were declared excess) photo.

Beechcraft U-8G, serial 58-1339, as seen during March 1980. This aircraft would make it to the civilian market, receiving registration N4265R, and crash on 6/28/97 following an engine failure.

AH-1G, serial 68-15134 with PCN 7H014, in storage during November 1975. This aircraft was acquired by the USMC under an Army contract, retaining the Army serial, and given an administrative BuNo of 157219. It would return to service in 1977 with HMA-773, return to storage in late '78, eventually be upgraded to AH-1S configuration and return to service with the Army, seeing another period of storage starting in early 1981. Afterwards it was sent to Israel as a parts queen.

Grumman S-2D, BuNo 147877, seen at MASDC in June 1968 with no signs of preservation, but PCN 1S067 stenciled on the left side of the aircraft. In fact, it appears that two previous PCN application attempts were made, with one completely blacked out, and another (also 1S067) struck with two parallel lines.
