59-1473 —

KC 135E, 59-1473. This aircraft was assigned to the 151st ARW Utah Air National Guard from the mid 70's until 2006. Of it's many assignments it flew a Pathfinder mission for the NASA 747 with the orbiter Discovery on its back from Love Field Tx to KSLC. This picture was taken shortly after that mission. She had many great Crew Chiefs assigned to her of which I had the privilege of being one of them. May she RIP in the Arizona desert.
