118th AES Retired Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm working on a history project of the old 'A' models which were once assigned to the 118th TAW (Tennessee Air National Gauard) in Nashville. I can find very little info on 55-0027, other than a few tidbits here and there. I'd like more info on the operational life of this aircraft for this history project. Thanks!
