Default New Big Dog in town.

The airplane has been around for 50 years. I flew it 43 years ago. This one (295) sat in the boneyard "show and tell row" for forty years. Well two aren't enough to do the Afghanistan mission so they rebuilt a fifty year old airplane. Imagine a flight log that has a forty year break between flights. Remember NASA (Note the lack of markings) conducts scientific research and weather reconnaissance.
