NC-45J trigear N45861 (c/n 4721) at Oklahoma City in March 1981, still wearing its former US Army paint scheme. This aircraft began life as a standard US Navy SNB-2 before going into the SNB-5 rebuild program, later re-designated UC-45J and when transferred to the US Army it was modified as a NC-45J with Volpar trigear, for use as a staff transport.
