Remarks: One of two C54s which made the Atlantic crossing to North Weald about a month before I took this photo. They came across to take part in the making of a film or mini-series about the Berlin Airlift, but, four+ years later, the film/mini-series hasn't yet been made and the aircraft remain at North Weald.
Remarks: Stored at the Marana Regional Airport,but unfortunatly,with all that damage to the left wing and horizontal stab,its safe to say that it will probably never fly again.
