#1 and #2 are utility, #3 and #4 are for booster on later models.

Here is the story I have been told: Flight was DM to Loring, but over Vermont (I think 27,000'), without any warning, #3 didn't like one of its reduction gearbox gears and kicked it outboard to #4. That broke the blade on #4 and cause what you see. #3 prop assembly didn't like being on an airplane anymore and departed the A/C. It was found about a week later in VT or NH, where it actually cut down a 3-4 inch tree like a chain saw (former CC was given a Hercules chainsaw trophy of the tree). 23 minutes later we were safely on the ground at Pease where we conveniently shut down a SAC base & runway for 3-4 hours while the brakes cooled, until Grill could yank 'em off. Safety guys figured out, by listening to the cockpit voice recorder, that when this happened #3 oversped, tried to correct itself, then disintegrated. Took about a 1/2 sec for all this. If this happened the next day we would have been an hour or so from any terra ferma. And yes, it is a Compass Call bird. Tail number 73-1592.

It's at Waco right now. They pulled it out of the Boneyard and put it on the Whiskey Ramp during the runway closure to get it prepped to head out to the depot at Waco.
