Folks:
Here's the true story on 63-7823 from a retired Herc Marine.
63-7823 WAS transferred to DM to be prepped for road transport. It is going to continue its life of service for many more years as Fuselage Trainer (FuT) No. 1 as part of a 2007 "Guns and Rescue" Training System contract. It began it's trip over the roads from DM to the vicinity of Tulsa, OK today (15Jun09) where it will be turned into a FuT for future delivery to Hurlburt Field, FL. It is one of two FuTs being produced. Sorry... don't know the USAF tail number that will become FuT No. 2.
Anyway... here's the proof:

I wouldn't be surprised if the O2 bottles weren't a fidelity requirement for the trainer. It will have a full set of "back end" equipment and operational systems in an AC/MC-130 configuration including high speed rails and ramp door to train the LMs
