| Kevin Lindsey , KY | C21A's were built in a serial number block from 35A-509 to 35a-589 Tail #s 84-0063 through 84-0142 first delivered to Scott Air force Base IL. Spring 1984 April I think. Scott was the Comand of MAC, Military Airlift Comand at the time. This base had 10 aircraft the most of anyone base to have C21A's as scott also was the training center for all future pilots on this aircraft type. I beleive ther were 10 bases in the US and three over seas One in Japan, two in Germany. 08/02/2008 @ 09:54 [ref: 22333] |
