Notes:

LUCHA82, the WC-135C Constant Phoenix, arrives at the Greenville Majors Airport to have its components stripped by L3Harris. She has finished her days in the USAF, having been in use since 1962. After some time at Majors, it was flown to AMARG in Tucson, AZ for storage. Note the signatures of Offutt AFB personnel who worked with this aircraft near the cockpit section.
