This aircraft may be the only C‑141 to ever have gone supersonic. See the story at this link.

This photo was taken while 65‑9402 was sitting on the ramp at the COMOX airport awaiting repairs following the "supersonic" incident. Due to the resolution of the photo you can't make out the tail number, but trust me, it's 9042.

I was on a C‑141 crew that took a replacement set of petal doors to Comox RCAFB Canada after the incident with 65‑9402. We took the old set back to Norton. One of the petal doors had a large chunk taken out of the door (at narrow end). It sat there for quite a while getting repaired. A loadmaster friend of mine (George Spaulding) was on board 9402 when the incident occurred. I can't remember any of the other crew member's names.
