The U.S. military version of the Super Constellation was the C-121, which was used extensively during the Korean War, Vietnam War, and throughout the Cold War years, for a variety of purposes, including surveillance, search and rescue, medical evac, and transporting personnel and cargo. The aircraft's long-range capabilities and high payload capacity made it an ideal platform for transporting troops, equipment, and supplies to and from combat zones around the world. This PlaneTag was cut from BuNo 131642, Its career began in 1953 when it was delivered to the U.S. Navy as an R7V-1. By 1959, it was one of 32 R7V-1s transferred to the USAF, reclassified as a C-121G, and registered S/N 54-4065. In 1963, it was loaned to NASA with another Super Connie, 54-4076, or NASA 421, as it became known. The two were used to calibrate ground-based tracking stations for the Mercury, Apollo, Gemini, and Agena space programs. After spending many years with NASA, N420NA was later used to test explosives before being sold by the DOD in 1978. Caution: Not recommended for children under 8 years of age. Due to the variations in the metal and paint the color will vary from item to item. This product contains chemical-based paint which may cause respiratory irritation if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Keep out of the mouth.
