In a fitting tribute to VC-10 XV105 which has arrived at RAF Bruntingthorpe this week for component recovery and eventual scrapping, here is an internal shot of said aircraft. Note the seats sit back to travel. 6 August 2007
Serial Number: 58-6971
Markings: 89th Military Airlift Wing, Andrews AFB, Maryland, 1998
Serial Number 58-6971 is known as 'Freedom One" because it brought back the hostages from Iran.
One of three 707-153s bought "off-the-shelf" and converted to military use, this aircraft was completed as a VC-137A by Boeing Aircraft of Seattle, Washington on April 7, 1959. On May 30, 1959 this aircraft was accepted by the U. S. Air Force, painted in Military Air Transport Service colors (white top with extensive Day-Glo orange) and markings and assigned to the 1298th Air Transport (Special Missions) Squadron at Andrews AFB, MD with a deployment to Washington National Airport in Washington, DC. In June 1961, the aircraft was assigned to the 1254th Air Transport (Special Missions) Wing, Andrews AFB.
A rare moment for VC and Telly. They arn't actually that close, and are only friends because of Knox. It's not that VC doesn't like Telstar, she just doesn't trust him.
On a side note: I rearranged their apartment a bit, added another picture (the elephant), built the hanger for their guitar it was always falling down before, and changed up their bookshelves. I think I'm going to scrap my plans for the kitchen side of the apartment, it makes the whole thing too cramped and doesn't lend well to photos so I'll just extend the living room.
