The Connie never went to the boneyard for storage at Davis Monthan AFB...she went to Florence SC to be treated like a '66 Olds junker by the hammer heads that abandoned it there. Dave Hill, Connie Crew 1982

I cried when I first saw the pictures of GD12 laying on the ground as junk. I was the last "qualifiied" aircrew on her until we retired her in 1982.

Nice photo, sad story. Added to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93Monthan_Air_Force_Bas... Thanks for posting these!

Bill Parsons FE'd this bird at VAQ-33......Retired after they retired the Connie,.Anyone remember Bill?

I remember this lineup very well. I was an AT2 (Aviation Electronics Technician) in the AEWBARRONPAC as a 20 year old in 1960 and was stationed at both Barbers Point Naval Air Station in Hawaii and at Midway Island.

Rich Young died in Volcan, Panama Aug 2016. I was stationed with him at AEW.
