Missing C-141?
I need some help on this one. A guy who was on the crew of 64-0614 when it had a two engine failure inAustralia asked the current where-abouts of this tail number. (Note:Bythe way, he said a lot of the info in the above referenced report about theincident is wrong, including the date. Should be 31 OCT 77, Not 15 OCT 77. Iwaiting for him to send me updated details so we can get it corrected here onthe web site.)
"No problem", I thought, "I'll just check the 'biglist'". No indication of where it is was found there.
"OK, Plan B. I'll look at the currently knownflying ones!" Not there either. I contacted a guy who works atDM/Boneyard. Not in his list.
These are the leading theories at the moment. If you have better info, pleaselet me know:
1. Aliens took it up in a spaceship and had sex with it. Where do think theC-17
came
from? There's an Area-51 connection here that the AF won't
talkabout.
Think
about it: 3 rhymes with 'C', and it's the 3'rd letter of the alphabet.So 3 x 17
= 51
2. Iraqi insurgents took it hostage. I haven't heard Peter Jennings talkingabout this.
3. The Miss. ANG group (that last had it) may have turned south on the way toDM and are now running 'scheduled service' between somewhere in Mexico andparts unknown in the southwestern US desert to help undocumented workers maketheir way to a better life.
4. Vice President Dick Cheney uses it to fly his retirement cash fromHalliburton around the country just out of reach of the IRS agents. I didhear Michael Moore talk about this just before the election.

No sooner said than done!
Well, I asked for more fine art, and somebody obliged. They sent in anotherversion which was probably the original. It appears that this one may havebeen cloned into the Flight Engineer version by just changing the title. Thisis your typical LOADMASTER, in color, of course.
Check it out here.
