Summary
[edit]
| Description |
A U.S. Navy Convair R4Y-1 Samaritan (BuNo 141015) bearing the logo, flag and three stars of the Commander Fleet Air Training and also bearing the name "Streanliner". The plane appears to be on the flight line at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida (USA), preparing to take off. Delivered as an R4Y-1 and redesignated C-131F in 1962, the aircraft spent its career serving as an air transport. Its final flights occurred from Forrest Sherman Field at NAS Pensacola where it served as the flag transport for the Chief of Naval Air Training. During this time, the aircraft sometimes received nicknames based on the admiral it supported. To this end, it was named the "Heywagon" during the tenure of Vice Admiral Alexander Heyworth and the "Streanliner" while Vice Admiral Bernard Strean served as Chief of Naval Air Training, 1968 to 1971. It remained operational until stricken from the U.S. Navy's inventory in 1981 and was transferred to the National Museum of Naval Aviation the following year. |
