My Grandfather flew the first C-133 from Long Beach to Dover in 1956. He was part of the C-133 project from the beginning. When he retired from the Air Force in 1964, he was hired on at Douglas in Long Beach as a C-133 pilot to fly the Apollo capsule parachute tests out in El Centro for NASA. I took him to Travis AFB to watch the last air worthy C-133 land in 2008.

As a loadmaster on the C-141A, I had the opportunity to tour a few,as they were on the way to Vietnam or coming back. Wonderful looking aircraft! And lots of room for the aircrew on long trips. Bunk space and eating area was far better than the 141. During the time that the C-5A came out, the C-5A was always broken. Should have tried to keep it flying.lol

I worked on transient C-133's at Rhein Main whenever one came through from '69-until they were phased out. I can particularly remember changing the RT-289/APN-59 radar r/t up in the nose area. Real pain in the butt. Most of us maintenance types were not overly happy to see one drop out of the sky. As I remember we called them Lead Sleds and Weeny Wagons. The first because when loaded they took a lot of runway and the second because they looked like an Oscar Meyer Wiener. I guess it served its purpose but we preferred C-141A's.

I lived in Barrow, Alaska, (Top of the World, no roads) from the late 1970s to the 1980s, running an airline cargo service company. I unloaded a civilization owned C-133 that was based out of Anchorage. I believe it ran under FAR Part 91, which meant it had only to haul government cargo, local, state, or federal. The only legally certified pilots that could fly it were old 133 guys from the USAF days who lived in the lower 48. They only came to Alaska to fly the aircraft to remote bush areas and return to Anchorage. I toured it several times, sorry no photos and was a huge beautiful aircraft. Wish I would’ve had a iPhone!

My dad was a loadmaster on this plane during Viet Nam and he did carry ICBM's and a lot of other stuff including one of the Apollo capsules after its mission completion.

1966-67 I was a crew chief at Travis AFB on C 133 B models. We would mostly fly to some base in the states, pick up some heavy equipment, and fly it to Viet Nam. Quite the plane!

[@toastypaladin]

There are several C-133s in museums. We have C-133B 59-0527 at Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ, and I know there is a C-133A at the Air Force Museum in Ohio.

[@PalmSpringsAirMuseum]

yes that's a nice airplane at PIMA

[@sentryfe74]

There are two C133s stored at Mojave Air and Space Port. They might be the two you are referring to.

[@russvoight1167]

When I was at Chanute AFB in 1976 there was a C-133. Have no idea what happened to it

[@PalmSpringsAirMuseum]

We don't think she survived the closing of the Museum.

[@billestes4335]

Was crew chief on 56-2001 at Dover AFB De. in early 1970. We sent 2008 to the AF Museum since it was a weight lifter record holder and scrapped the rest. I believe 2 were rescued and flown on the Alaska Pipeline project one being 2001. They are sitting in Mojave Ca. Hard airplane to work on after coming off C-130"s.

[@williamdekine1746]

I crewed 0139

[@kenseeger1485]

56-1999 A model from Dover Del was my plane . After service went to Alaskan Air Cargo . Now at the museum at Travis AFB California . Tail number 2008 A model is at the museum in Dayton Ohio
