    Notes: The last time I saw this old girl was some 25 years ago, when she was sitting atop a restaurant in Penndel, PA, wearing faded Capitol Air markings. Its good to see this aircraft again, especially after she has been so lovingly restored by the fine folks at the Air Mobility Command Museum, Dover, DE
