That YC-15 isn't there anymore. Boeing took it for research on a tailless
vertical takeoff transport. I think it was supposed to be a tilt wing. They
must have wanted the bigger wing, because the other YC-15 is still at D.M..
How far Boeing got, I don't know, but, the contract money was taken away.
This is the other YC-15, with the picture taken through a buss window, in
2004. And, the YC-14, also at D.M.

The embarrassing thing for me is that I saw both of these aircraft as
couple
of years ago at the Davis Monthan AFB Bone Yards and at the nearby Pima
Air
and Space Museum. I say embarrassing because I thought it would be
interesting for people to see them as they are today. Unfortunately
either
I didn't take any shots of them or I misplaced the files.


DAMN IT!!!
