It remained in service until 1960. AirVenture is usually the largest gathering of Mustangs during the airshow season. Old Crow honors famed Mustang pilot Bud Anderson. The C-5 Galaxy remains in the Air Force inventory. It will carry up to 270,000 pounds of stuff. These swamp cooler fans are always a popular place to hang out when the vendor hangars get hot.
