Jim Stolfi It's a C model, Tachi birds all A models started with "1", example, 51-0119 was 1-0119. They were converted to Cs in mid '60s I understand.

Stories about the C-124.

Richard Jones Been there done that.


  • Braxton Perry I was there 63-65 and we had all "C" models
  • Braxton Perry Jim Stolfi All had forward facing engineers panels. I looked at the SN wrong; that plane had side panel more than likely.
  • Jim Stolfi Braxton Perry I was there '58 - '60. By the way, here is a pix of 51-0119 after the '79 tornado in Windsor Locks aka BDL........
