The Loadstar was flown in back in 1996 and preserved and repainted
well..they gave US the whole C-130 and since we wnated it we did the job..hehe but they did come and help and actually mounted a couple of the engines ..as we was a bit confused there.. but after a couple we were left to do the rest. we have 37 aircrafts in our museum ( that is at gardermoen ) but with the museum up north in bodø and the one down south in stavanger ( its about 80 aircrafts or more..several aircrafts are on loan here and there ) but a special thanks go to the groundcrew on 335 Sqd for all the help with the C-130
here is a few pictures of the inside of the C-47 since we are on the transport topic. it has a long history ( made in 1944 ) took part in the D-day.. after the war it took part in the berlin airlift before it was sold to Norway and grounded in the early 70`s ( was in Kongo and a lot of other places during its time in the AF ) and been preserved since !
the funny thing is that somebody has written on the main id tag from the manufaturer on the delivery date " NEVER " so it was newer delivered but it sure saw action and had a long life..hehe
