We got them from Regan in 1982. The war broke out in the spring of 1982-that's the history

C-131 Samaritan

C-131 Samaritan

Almost. It's a T-29 - the trainer version of the C-131

Nope. T-29. Note the bubbles along the top and the radome on the forward belly? It is a navigator trainer, set up with multiple navigational consoles inside. Replaced by the T-43, a version of the Boeing 737. T-29's removed from navigator training were used as hack transports at just about every air force base, until they were phased out in the mid-1970's. I have spent several hours riding in them, from Shaw AFB to Wright Patt and from Shaw to the Cape. A friend of mine recently found the flight manual for the T-29 in a trash can.

The C-131 usually had red crosses, indicating they were transports for wounded and medical patients with "Band Aide Air Lines." There were few C-131 set up as VIP transports.
