67-0166
Lockheed C-141B Starlifter (L-300)
300-6285
United States Air Force

VIP Starlifter parked out in Riem’s "Westpilz" parking area.

Starlifters were rarely seen at Riem, I only have three reports for the 1970s:
65-0271 (5 July 1974),
66-0132 (3 July 1975), photo 1 at Riem, photo 2 at Riem
65-9405 (7 July 1975) - this aircraft was lost in a mid-air collision with German Air Force Tu-154 11+02 on 13 September 1997 approximately 80 NM off the coast of Namibia.

67-0166 was operated by the 443rd MAW and used as a VIP transport by the Commander, Headquarters Air Mobility Command (note the gold MAC tail band and fuselage stripe). A plush VIP interior is installed, with the aircraft wearing white top & gray bottom colors. The VIP interior could be removed if needed for a cargo mission. Later, the aircraft was assigned to a standard airlift role and flew heavily in the Gulf War II conflict carrying wounded troops to immediate care in Germany and back home to the US for longer term care. It was last based at Wright-Patterson.

This was the very last of 285 C-141 Starlifters built by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation (initially constructed as a C-141A and converted to first to a C-141B and then to a C-141C), and it flew the last line mission by the type, on 7 April 2006, from Wright-Patterson AFB to Scott AFB. Preserved as a representative of the 445th Airlift Wing at Scott AFB located in Belleville, Illinois.
