| David , WA | In your description, you have the C-% Galaxy as being in service since 1962. The fact is the aircraft first flew in 1968. It may have been requested and designated by the US Government in 62, but the first prototype rolled off the line and began service in 1968. 03/14/2006 @ 10:32 [ref: 12804] |
