C-141B Starlifters - When it's over

MCGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. - Sitting on the flightline here these C-141B Starlifters are being retired from the active- duty Air Force inventory on Sept. 16. After 40 years of service and nearly nine million flying hours, the aircraft has a proven reliability and long-range capability in worldwide airlift for combat support missions, and to humanitarian relief.
