NASA Viking, no not the Mars landers! Or, last flight of a Viking.

Image

In July 2021, NASA retired the last operational S-3B Viking.  It’s home is now the San Diego Air & Space Museum-El Cajon Gillespie Field Annex.  This ended 20 years of NASA service for an aircraft that had already completed a career with the U.S. Navy.

NASA photo dated 2001.

In January 2009, the U.S. Navy officially retired (from ‘fleet service’ aboard aircraft carriers, with final USN retirement in 2016) its Lockheed S-3B Viking aircraft.  In 2001, one lucky Viking got a new life with the National Aeronautics Space Administration.

Glenn Research Center, Ohio, NASA photo dated 2001.

Even before the USN began retiring their Vikings NASA was already prepping to use it, in 2006 awarding Boeing a contract to rebuild the Viking. 

NASA photo dated 2006, Glenn Research Center, Ohio.

This NASA image, of Viking N601NA with its new NASA uniform, is from 2007.

NASA photo dated 2007, Glenn Research Center, Ohio.

NASA began using the Viking, to supplement their other aircraft, to fly aircraft SatCom (satellite communication) relay viability missions over Illinois.

In 2010, NASA’s Viking began airborne environmental science missions (like the growing problem of algae blooms in The Great Lakes) and aeronautics research.

Final approach to the runway at Air Force Plant 42, NASA Dryden’s Aircraft Operations Facility in Palmdale, California, October 2010.  The large cargo pod has been modified by NASA to carry electronic sensing devices for various missions.

  According to the information that came with these U.S. Navy photos, in January 2016 one of these Air Test & Evaluation Squadron 30’s Vikings was sent to be mummified in ‘the boneyard’, while the other got a new life working for NASA.  However, I can’t find anything from NASA confirming they took possession of another Viking.  I’ve even seen some blogs that claim NASA has three Vikings which, again, I haven’t found anything from NASA backing that up.  Current NASA information indicates there was only one Viking in their possession, N601NA, operating out of Glenn Research Center in Ohio.

KC-135: The last ISO for the 916th

Video

Photos by Staff Sergeant Mary McKnight.

In October 2019, on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, the 916th Maintenance Squadron (of the 916th Air Refueling Wing) completed their last isochronal (ISO) inspection of a KC-135 Stratotanker.

The KC-135 has been replaced by the KC-46 Pegasus.

The last ISO on the 916th KC-135 was started in August, but took longer than expected due to delays caused by severe weather: “The ISO (isochronal) aircraft was placed on the flightline as a precaution to protect it from possible damage. The hangar it was in leaves the empennage exposed to high winds which could cause more damage because of the close tolerance to the hangar doors.”-Senior Master Sergeant Karl Rehkamp, 916th Maintenance Squadron maintenance flight chief
