pastures--1:reener as in greenbacks.
The UC·8A Buffalo flew out of Armitage Field for the
last time on Friday, Aug. 20, and, after some training flights
at Inyokern Airport, it headed for its new home at Pope Air
Force Base, where it will be owned and operated by the U.S.
Army out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Number 63·13688, to be going to the Army, since that's

By 1966 it had made its way to Edwards Air Force Base,
