Hobby Master 1/200 Airliner Series, HL5009, VC-118A "53-3240" USAF Presidential Transport.
VC-118A 53-3240 was built as a VIP transport and
delivered to the 1254th Air Transport Wing at
Washington International Airport on December 23, 1955. In July 1961 the
1254th ATW along with 53-3240
were relocated to Andrews AFB.
The aircraft soon became President John F
Kennedy’s favourite
plane to transport him to the short landing strip at Hyannisport,
Massachusetts.
President Lyndon
Johnson occasionally used this aircraft. The aircraft is on display at the Pima
Air and Space Museum in
Tucson Arizona painted in the scheme Jackie Kennedy had designed.
