Spectre623 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think the records show the first 18 built had the side opening NLG doors. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 the 2 YC\'s and the first 15 C\'s had side opening doors. As far as I know the only ones modified to rear opening doors were 53-3132, and 3135 that went to Mexico. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I stand corrected. I saw 129 almost every day for 4 years at Duke leading up to her retirement. I should have know that!:blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
