    Dates

    Event

    1951

    Constructed as a C-119G.

    Circa 1951

    Taken on Strength/Charge with the Royal Canadian Air Force with s/n 22122.

    1965


    Photographer: John Olafson
    Notes: I photographed this RCAF C119 in 1965 at St Hubert Quebec. I was stationed at Air Defence HQ at the time and later that year several of us airmen were given a flip to Winnipeg and back over a weekend in this aircraft. The aircraft was full of radar jamming equipment used to test intercepting radar. A short time later, cracks found in the wing spars in some of them resulted in them being withdrawn from service. This one was sold to Hawkins and Powers of Greybull Montana.

    By 1978

    To Hawkins and Powers, South Bighorn County Airport, Greybull, WY with new c/r N8091 (C-119G, 10906).

    Placed on display with Hawkins and Powers, South Bighorn County Airport, Greybull, WY.
