Hello Jim:
          Greetings from Canada.
=> Last time i was up to Grey Bull, Wyoming, ( 2 years ago) they had about 
5-6 C
=>
=> 119s that appeared to be operational, plus a dozen or more ex-RCAF birds 
that
=> 
          Grey Bull wound up with quite a few ex-RCAF C-119s.   I always
wondered where 22118 finally went;  that Boxcar got me started in
aviation in 1957.
=> provide parts. Most of the operational boxcars are ex-RCAF. They have one 
C-8
=>
=> euqipped with the jet engine (J-34?) on top that appeared to be 
operational.
=> The one Lockheed 18?, probably is ex-RCAF.
          Might have been a Beechcraft Expeditor.   They used to call
them Bug Smashers, because that's about all the speed you could get out
of one.
          I recall hearing reports of Bug Smashers getting bug strikes on
the trailing edges too......   :-)
