Editing Lockheed JetStar (section)

==Operational history==
The first prototype served as the personal transport of Lockheed's Vice President of Advanced Development Projects [[Kelly Johnson (engineer)|Kelly Johnson]] for some time. [[Elvis Presley]] owned two JetStars at different times; the second was named ''Hound Dog II'' and is on display at [[Graceland]]. Frank Sinatra also owned one.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Additionally, one JetStar belonged to U.S. President [[Richard Nixon]], then to the [[Shah of Iran]] and finally, to Puerto Rican boy band [[Menudo (band)|Menudo]].

Sixteen JetStars were produced for the USAF; five ''C-140As'' were flight inspection aircraft for the Air Force Communications Service and were used to perform airborne testing of airport navigational aids (navaids) from 1962 onwards. They began service during the Vietnam War and remained in service until the early 1990s. The "Flight Check" C-140As were combat-coded aircraft that could be distinguished from the [[Very Important Person|VIP]] transport version by their distinctive paint scheme. The C-140As were deployed to southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, where, in addition to their more usual navaid testing, they would loiter off the coast and act as communications relays between the Pentagon and the battlefield.<ref>Harvey 1966, p. 69</ref> The last C-140A to be retired was placed on static display at Scott AFB, Illinois.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

An additional eleven airframes were designated ''C-140B'', although the first of these predated the C-140As when it was delivered in 1961. The C-140Bs were used to transport personnel by the [[Military Airlift Command]]. Six of the aircraft (tail numbers 61-2488, 61-2489, 61-2490, 61-2491, 61-2492 and 61-2493) were operated as VIP transports by the [[89th Airlift Wing|89th Military Airlift Wing]] at Andrews Air Force Base. These VIP aircraft were designated as ''VC-140Bs''. During the presidency of Jimmy Carter, he used a dedicated VC-140B extensively for short trips and it was known within the Special Air Missions Wing as "Peanut One." Upon retirement, one airframe (#89001) was placed on a static pedestal in front of the Joint Base Andrews air terminal. Members of the VIP transport fleet occasionally served as [[Air Force One]] during the 1970s and 1980s. Several other countries, such as [[Germany]] and [[Canada]], have used military JetStars as transports for their [[head of state|heads of state]], [[head of government|heads of government]], and other VIPs.

The last operational JetStar (N313JS) was retired in December 2019, and is now preserved at the [[Aviation History & Technology Center]] in Marietta, GA.<ref>Air-Britain Aviation World, March 2020, p. 64.</ref> However, in November 2020, a Jetstar II (N700RM) was flown from Texas to Oregon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N700RM|title=N700RM Flight Tracking and History}}</ref> That particular aircraft will be disassembled in Klamath Falls.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} In December 2020, another Jetstar II (N710RM) was also ferried from Conroe, Texas to Klamath Falls, Oregon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N710RM|title=N710RM Flight Tracking and History}}</ref>
