This web site is a 100% non-commercial tribute the to great Lockheed C-141
Starlifter. I'm not making any money by doing this...it is a pure labor of love
for a great aircraft that passed into oblivion on the way to becoming beer cans,
right before our eyes here in Tucson, AZ. The cost of maintaining the site is
just a few hundred dollars per year and paid 100% out of my pocket.
Sadly, the C-141 fleet has been destroyed. Only a few remain at various
aircraft museums around the country. Fortunately, they are only here temporarily
as they pass through on the their way to C141 Heaven, where every single one of
them belongs. If I had not moved here many years ago from Seattle, and seen with
my own eyes what was taking place at the 'bone yard' this site never would have
come into existence.
The material and photos on this web site generally fall into one of these
categories:
'Public domain' -- either official USAF or DOD
pictures, news
releases,etc.
Unattributed photos or other information found
at
one web
site or another.
Material contributed by "aviation-nut"
photographers or
former C-141 crew members (many of whom were nuts, but not necessarily
aviation-nuts), ground
crew personnel, etc.
Excerpts from news stories found on the internet
or old
publications such as newspapers, professional journals, etc.
I've found that putting the material directly on the site as opposed to
linking to it at another server works better for the viewer because links to
other places invariably break as those web sites change or disappear.
I'm not trying to misappropriate any material and will always
give proper credit when it can be determined. If you have material that
you'd like to share please send it to me and I will be more than happy to put
it here in an appropriate category. Full credit will be given to you for your
submission and if you have a web site of your own where you display more photos
(personal or commercial) I will be happy to provide a link to your site.
If you see something that is yours and it is not properly credited please
contact me via email before
putting your lawyer on me. If you aren't willing to share your information or
if I can't provide credit for your material in a way that makes you satisfied
any such material will be removed. I'm doing this web site out of love and
respect for a great airplane, and mad lawyers are not welcome here in C141Heaven
(and probably not in the BIG heaven either, of which C141Heaven is only
a small department).
