C-141B Starlifter USAF Military Transport Aircraft - Wood Model Airplane
Length: 19" Wingspan: 19" Scale: 1:100
Includes desk stand.
C141 Starlifter wooden model aircraft, handmade sculpture, made of mahogany wood. Each wooden mahogany model is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep rich finish that distinguishes these models from all others is created when the artist hand paints all of the details onto each piece. No decals are used.
This fine hand crafted model airplane requires little special care. We recommend you keep the wood model airplane out of direct sun light and away from sources of heat or cold. Dust with a soft cloth, do not use paper products.
The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was a military strategic airlifter in service with the Air Mobility Command (AMC) of the United States Air Force. The aircraft also served with AMC-gained airlift wings and air mobility wings of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and the Air National Guard (ANG) and, in later years, one air mobility wing of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) dedicated to C-141, C-5, C-17 and KC-135 training.
Introduced to replace slower piston-engined cargo planes such as the C-124 Globemaster II, the C-141 was designed to requirements set in 1960 and first flew in 1963. Production deliveries of an eventual 285 planes began in 1965: 284 for the Air Force, and one for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for use as an airborne observatory. The aircraft remained in service for almost 40 years until the USAF withdrew the C-141 from service on 5 May 2006, replacing the aircraft with the C-17 Globemaster III.
