I used to be Flight Crew on the Province of Saskatchewan's "Tanker 475."
475
has a very interesting past ..... at one phase of it's life, it was Air Force One ......
I am unable to post a direct link via this site, so you'll have to do a search for the
Smithsonian Museum's magazine article titled "The Things It Carried."
