This beautiful old Convair C-131F was last operated out of NAS New Orleans and entered MASDC in early 1985. She is now parked on the AMARG 'Celebrity Row' and is seen by visitors on the Pima Museum tour coach. Not looking bad for 23 years in store now.
Photographed in store at AMARC in February 1987 C-131F Bu.No 140999 looks to be in remarkably good condition. When finally sold she became N14099, P4-SSG, then N8277Q. Not bad for a plane that entered service in 1955.
