On display on 'Celebrity Row' in October 1999 was this unique Douglas EC-24A BuNo 163050, in a previous life she was a DC-8-54 (F) operated by United Airlines.
A surprise on the AMARC tour in October 1999, this EC-24A is really a much modified DC8-54F which was last operated by the Fleet Tactical Readiness Group. A nice catch!
This was the only DC-8 variant operated by the USN and was used for electronic warfare tests. Retired to AMARG during Dec. 98 and is stored there with the PCN/Inventory No. AN2C0001.
